Abstract

In this short note we correct a conceptual error in theheuristic derivation of a kinetic equation used for thedescription of a one-dimensional granular medium in the socalled quasi-elastic limit, presented by the same authors inreference[1]. The equation we derived is however correct so that,the rigorous analysis on this equation, which constituted themain purpose of that paper, remains unchanged.
