Approach to equilibrium in a microscopic model of friction

We consider the time evolution of a disk under the action of a constant force and interacting with a free gas in the mean-field approximation. Letting V0>0 be the initial velocity of the disk and V∞>0 its equilibrium velocity, namely the one for which the external field is balanced by the fric...
