The particle is accelerated by a constant external field; when colliding with an obstacle, the particle inelastically reflects. We study the asymptotics of X(t), which denotes the position of the particle at time t, as t tends to infinity. The result is a functional limit theorem for X(t).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-12-10T13:55:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K37" ], "keywords": [ "functional limit theorem", "lorentz type model", "constant external field", "random medium", "particle inelastically reflects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....12253V" } } }
