Our object is to formulate and analyze a physically plausible and mathematically sound model to better understand the phenomenon of clumping in colloid dispersions. Our model is stochastic but rigorously derived from a deterministic setup…

We consider the multicomponent Smoluchowski coagulation equation under non-equilibrium conditions induced either by a source term or via a constant flux constraint. We prove that the corresponding stationary non-equilibrium solutions have a…

In this paper, we establish smoothness of moments of the solutions of discrete coagulation-diffusion systems. As key assumptions, we suppose that the coagulation coefficients grow at most sub-linearly and that the diffusion coefficients…

Ensembles of interacting drops that slide down an inclined plate show a dramatically different coarsening behavior as compared to drops on a horizontal plate: As drops of different size slide at different velocities, frequent collisions…

This work outlines an exact combinatorial approach to finite coagulating systems through recursive equations and use of generating function method. In the classic approach the mean-field Smoluchowski coagulation is used. However, the…

We develop a general formalism applying to Newtonian self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates. This formalism may find application in the context of dark matter halos. We introduce a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation including a…

What is the probability that all the gas in a box accumulates in the same half of this box? Though amusing, this question underlies the fundamental problem of density fluctuations at equilibrium, which has profound implementations in many…

We study the long-time behaviour of the solutions to Smoluchowski coagulation equations with a source term of small clusters. The source drives the system out-of-equilibrium, leading to a rich range of different possible long-time…

We use the Chapman-Enskog method to derive the Smoluchowski equation from the Kramers equation in a high friction limit. We consider two main extensions of this problem: we take into account a uniform rotation of the background medium and…
