Exact steady-state solution of the Boltzmann equation: A driven one-dimensional inelastic Maxwell gas

The exact nonequilibrium steady-state solution of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation for a driven inelastic Maxwell model was obtained by Ben-Naim and Krapivsky [Phys. Rev. E 61, R5 (2000)] in the form of an infinite product for the Fourier transform of distribution function f(c). In this paper we have inverted the …
