Abstract

An exact analytical solution of the nonlinear boson diffusion equation (NBDE) is presented. It accounts for the time evolution towards the Bose-Einstein equilibrium distribution through inelastic and elastic collisions in case of constant transport coefficients. As a currently interesting application, gluon scattering in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is investigated. An estimate of time-dependent gluon-condensate formation in overoccupied systems through number-conserving elastic scatterings in Pb-Pb collisions at relativistic energies is given.
