Abstract

We consider a mechanical model in the plane, consisting of a vertical rod, subject to a constant horizontal force f and to elastic collisions with the particles of a free gas which is horizontally in equilibrium at some inverse temperature. In a previous paper we proved that, in the appropriate space and time scaling, the motion of the rod is described as a drift term plus a diffusion term. In this paper we prove that the drift d(f) and the diffusivity 2(f) are continuous functions of f, and moreover that the Einstein relation holds.
