Dissipative entropy makes the heat equation hyperbolic

Infinite disturbance speed, an undesirable feature of the standard heat equation, is usually avoided by assuming a Boltzmann-Volterra dependence of the heat influx vector on the history of the temperature gradient. It is shown in this paper how to attain the same <i>desideratum</i> by po...
