Why hyperbolic theories of dissipation cannot be ignored: Comments on a paper by Kostadt and Liu

- 7 February 2001
Abstract
Contrary to what is asserted in a recent paper by Kostadt and Liu ("Causality and stability of the relativistic diffusion equation"), experiments can tell apart (and in fact do) hyperbolic theories from parabolic theories of dissipation. It is stressed that the existence of a non--negligible relaxation time does not imply for the system to be out of the hydrodynamic regime.Keywords
