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…
Over the past decade, a combinatorial framework for discrete, finite, and irreversibly aggregating systems has emerged. This work reviews its progress, practical applications, and limitations. We outline the approach's assumptions and…
For this paper, we studied the time evolution of a system of coagulating particles under a generalized electrorheological (ER) kernel with real power, $K\left(i,j\right) = \left( \frac{1}{i}+\frac{1}{j} \right)^\alpha$, and monodisperse…
In this paper we prove that the time dependent solutions of a large class of Smoluchowski coagulation equations for multicomponent systems concentrate along a particular direction of the space of cluster compositions for long times. The…
In a recent series of papers, an exact combinatorial solution was claimed for a variant of the so-called Marcus--Lushnikov model of aggregation. In this model, a finite number of aggregates, are initially assumed to be present in the form…
For this work, we studied a finite system of discreet-size aggregating particles for two types of kernels with arbitrary parameters, a condensation (or branched-chain polymerization) kernel, $K(i,j)=(A+i)(A+j)$, and a linear combination of…
In this article we study an extension of Smoluchowski's discrete coagulation equation, where particle in- and output takes place. This model is frequently used to describe aggregation processes in combination with sedimentation of clusters.…
The time evolution of a system of coagulating particles under the product kernel and arbitrary initial conditions is studied. Using the improved Marcus-Lushnikov approach, the master equation is solved for the probability $W(Q,t)$ to find…
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…
The initial purpose of this work is to provide a probabilistic explanation of a recent result on a version of Smoluchowski's coagulation equations in which the number of aggregations is limited. The latter models the deterministic evolution…
We present a simple one-dimensional model with molecular interactions favouring the formation of clusters with a defined optimal size. Increasing the density, at low temperature, the system goes from a nearly-ideal gas of independent…
We consider the mass-dependent aggregation process (k+1)X -> X, given a fixed number of unit mass particles in the initial state. One cluster is chosen proportional to its mass and is merged into one either with k-neighbors in one…
Binary coagulation is an important process in aerosol dynamics by which two particles merge to form a larger one. The distribution of particle sizes over time may be described by the so-called Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. This…
We report a number of exact solutions for temperature-dependent Smoluchowski equations. These equations quantify the ballistic agglomeration, where the evolution of densities of agglomerates of different size is entangled with the evolution…
Temperature-dependent Smoluchowski equations describe the ballistic agglomeration. In contrast to the standard Smoluchowski equations for the evolution of cluster densities with constant rate coefficients, the temperature-dependent…
We study the clustering problem for mixtures of bounded covariance distributions, under a fine-grained separation assumption. Specifically, given samples from a $k$-component mixture distribution $D = \sum_{i =1}^k w_i P_i$, where each $w_i…
We examine an infinite, linear system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of fragmenting clusters, where each cluster is assumed to be composed of identical units. In contrast to previous investigations into such…
We demonstrate an approach to solving the coagulation equation that involves using a finite number of moments of the particle size distribution. This approach is particularly useful when only general properties of the distribution, and…
We present a rigorous thermodynamic treatment of irreversible binary aggregation. We construct the Smoluchowski ensemble as the set of discrete finite distributions generated from the same initial state of all monomers upon fixed number…
The integrated completed likelihood (ICL) criterion has proven to be a very popular approach in model-based clustering through automatically choosing the number of clusters in a mixture model. This approach effectively maximises the…
