We investigate the behavior of energy fluctuations in several models of granular gases maintained in a non-equilibrium steady state. In the case of a gas heated from a boundary, the inhomogeneities of the system play a predominant role. Interpreting the total kinetic energy as a sum of...

In this paper, we compute the probability that a segment of random position and of constant length intersects a side of a regular lattice with circular sections obstacles. In particular, we obtain the formula of a probability already computed by Caristi and Stoka, as well as the formula of the...
