by using the maximum entropy principle, we formally derive semiclassical, isothermal, Euler-like equations describing fermions (electrons and holes) in a graphene sheet. Some general properties of such equations as well as their asymptotic forms corresponding to particular physical regimes (low and high temperatures, diffusive limit, collimation limit) will be discussed.
