The steady state properties of the model are examined for different values of $\\delta$, and compared with the homogeneous case $\\delta=0$. A driving linearly proportional to $v(\\vec{x})$ seems to reproduce some experimental observations which could not be reproduced by a homogeneous driving. Furthermore, we obtain that the system can be homogenized even for strong dissipation, if a driving inversely proportional to", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-05-05T09:49:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional granular gas", "multiplicative driving", "inelastic spheres subject", "steady state properties", "local particle velocity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
