Abstract

In this Letter, a convergence result for the BBGKY hierarchy to a Boltzmann-like equation, in the case of an Anelastic collision, is shown. Boltzmann-like equations are often used to model dissipative dynamical systems such as granular media. This convergence result aims to make a contribution towards a mathematical foundation to these applications.
