Thermally driven escape over a barrier of arbitrary shape
(AIP Publishing, 1999)
The Kramers theory for the thermally activated rate of escape of a Brownian particle from a potential well is extended to a barrier of arbitrary shape. The extension is based on an approximate solution of the underlying ...

Steady uniform shear flow in a low density granular gas
(American Physical Society, 1997)
The steady uniform shear flow of a low density granular sytem is studied by means of a kinetic model equation and also by direct Monte Carlo simulation of the Boltzmann equation. The former can be exactly solved for arbitrary ...

Resonant activation in a simple kinetic model
(American Physical Society, 1994)
We present a very simple Markovian kinetic model displaying a stochastic resonant behavior which is similar to the one found in the escape of a particle over a fluctuating potential barrier. The basic mechanism that is ...

Fourier state of a fluidized granular gas
(European Physical Society, 2001)
It is shown that the Boltzmann equation for smooth inelastic hard disks or spheres admits a solution describing a steady state characterized by uniform pressure and linear temperature profile. Such a state has been observed ...

Nonequilibrium entropy of a gas
(American Physical Society, 1992)
The Boltzmann entropy of a dilute gas under uniform shear flow is analyzed. The entropy variation associated with viscous heating is evaluated and compared with the local equilibrium expression. For interaction potentials ...

Memory effects in the relaxation of ising models
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2002)
It is analytically shown that the one-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics exhibits short-time memory effects when submitted to an abrupt change in temperature. These effects are qualitatively similar to those ...

Transversal inhomogeneities in dilute vibrofluidized granular fluids
(American Physical Society, 2002)
The spontaneous symmetry breaking taking place in the direction perpendicular to the energy flux in a dilute vibrofluidized granular system is investigated, using both a hydrodynamic description and simulation methods. The ...

Aging in the one-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1997-10-01)
We study the zero-temperature limit of the one-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions and Glauber dynamics. An exact evolution equation is derived for the spin-spin two-time correlation functions following ...

Resonant behavior of a Poisson process driven by a periodic signal
(American Physical Society, 1995)
The statistical properties of the residence times of a periodically modulated Poisson process (time-dependent shot noise) on a line segment are analyzed. They show the characteristic features of a resonant behavior, which ...

Simple model with facilitated dynamics for granular compaction
(American Physical Society, 1999)
A simple lattice model is used to study compaction in granular media. As in real experiments, we consider a series of taps separated by large enough waiting times. The relaxation of the density exhibits the characteristic ...
