摘要

We consider a finite system of hard spheres that collide inelastically according to a particular model, losing a fixed amount of kinetic energy at each collision. We develop the theory of the Transport-Collision-Transport (TCT) dynamics, which allows to study precisely the evolution of the Lebesgue measure in the phase space under the action of the flows of particle systems that can interact via instantaneous binary collision. In the two-dimensional case, we show that the scattering mapping associated to the inelastic hard sphere system that we introduce preserves locally the Lebesgue measure in the velocity space, in spite of the fact that a positive amount of kinetic energy is lost at each inelastic collision. We prove the analog of Alexander’s theorem for our model, which allows us to deduce the global well-posedness of the trajectories, for almost every initial datum, in dimension d arbitrary.
