Abstract

We study some extremal properties of the self-similar solutions of certain one-dimensional kinetic models of granular flows, usually known with the name of nonlinear friction equations. This analysis, inspired by some recent results on nonlinear di¤usion equations [6], allows to obtain various sharp inequalities, which can be fruitfully used to better clarify the large-time behavior of the solution density.
