38. A detailed analysis of the time evolution of a granular gas with constant restitution coefficient at HCS 7 shows that the coefficients (Formula presented) (the case of (Formula presented) was considered in Ref. 7) quickly (i.e., during a few collisions per particle) relax to a constant value and then do not change with time.
39. Actually as it has been shown for the case of a constant restitution coefficient 7, that there are three different solutions for (Formula presented) when a complete analysis (i.e., going beyond the linear approximation for (Formula presented) is performed. However, only solution (15), which is just a linear approximation of the total solution 7, corresponds to a velocity distribution function that is stable with respect to small perturbations in the case of a constant restitution coefficient 7.
