The paper outlines an exact combinatorial approach to finite coagulating systems. In this approach, cluster sizes and time are discrete, and the binary aggregation alone governs the time evolution of the systems. By considering the growth…
Reactions in solution require "contact" between the reagents. We can predict the rate at which reagents come into "contact" (at least in dilute conditions), but if the initial collision does not lead to reaction, what happens then? The…
