Abstract:
The existence and reaching of nonequilibrium stationary states are important issues that need to be taken into account in the development of mathematical modeling frameworks for far off equilibrium complex systems. The main result of this paper is the rigorous proof that the solution of the discrete thermostatted kinetic model catches the stationary solutions as time goes to infinity. The approach towards nonequilibrium stationary states is ensured by the presence of a dissipative term (thermostat) that counterbalances the action of an external force field. The main result is obtained by employing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).
