We consider Smoluchowski's coagulation equation in the case of the diagonal kernel with homogeneity $\gamma>1$. In this case the phenomenon of gelation occurs and solutions lose mass at some finite time. The problem of the existence of…

We consider a random model of diffusion and coagulation. A large number of small particles are randomly scattered at an initial time. Each particle has some integer mass and moves in a Brownian motion whose diffusion rate is determined by…
We establish nearly optimal rates of convergence to self-similar solutions of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with kernels $K = 2$, $x + y$, and $xy$. The method is a simple analogue of the Berry-Ess\'een theorem in classical…

Gelation in the Smoluchowski coagulation equation is commonly interpreted as a finite-time singularity marked by mass loss or moment divergence. We instead characterize gelation as a loss of dynamical stability of the Smoluchowski flow,…
We consider two simple models for the formation of polymers where at the initial time, each monomer has a certain number of potential links (called arms in the text) that are consumed when aggregations occur. Loosely speaking, this imposes…
We characterize the long-time behaviour of solutions to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with a diagonal kernel of homogeneity $\gamma < 1$. Due to the property of the diagonal kernel, the value of a solution depends only on a discrete…
