For a three-oscillator chain with two unequal-temperature baths, the local GKSL master equation is numerically closer to the exact dynamics for weak inter-oscillator coupling, while the global equation wins above a temperature-dependent critical coupling.
In such a case, due to the symmetry, we expect that the covariance matrix remains invariant under the change of labels 1 and 3

An open harmonic chain: Exact vs global and local reduced dynamics
For a three-oscillator chain with two unequal-temperature baths, the local GKSL master equation is numerically closer to the exact dynamics for weak inter-oscillator coupling, while the global equation wins above a temperature-dependent critical coupling.
