23. From the point of view of the dynamical system this constitutes a Poincaré map.

25. The time step of the method is sufficiently small to ensure that the coarse-grained entropy reaches its saturation much before the numerical errors in the trajectories become comparable to the resolution of the partitioning (i.e., the size of the cells).

27. In the general definition of the entropy we use coarse graining by means of squares in units of the size of the total phase space. For the Lorentz gas this means that the lengths of the respective sides of a cell of size ε are a fraction ε of those of the full domain ([-1,1] × [0,2π]). The cells are thus rectangles of size 28ε × 2πε. From the point of view of the coarse-grained entropy this does not matter, because only the measure of boxes appears in Eq. (9).

31. Common discussions of transport processes from the point of view of kinetic theory of gases characterize local equilibrium by the sufficient, even though not necessary, condition of a Maxwellian velocity distribution of the particles. In contrast, we adopt the definition of de Groot and Mazur [1] [Chapter III, Section 2], which is more general than the one in kinetic theory: "Although the total system is not in equilibrium, there exists within small mass elements a state of "local" equilibrium, for which the local entropy is the same function [of the macroscopic thermodynamic variables] as in real equilibrium. [...] This hypothesis of local equilibrium can, from a macroscopic point of view, only be justified by virtue of the conclusions derived from it."
