We study a Smoluchowski equation describing a simple mean-field model of particles moving in $d$ dimensions and aggregating with conservation of `mass' $s=R^D$ ($R$ is the particle radius). In the scaling regime the scaled mass distribution…
We prove uniqueness of measure solutions for a multi-component version of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. The result is valid for a broad range of coagulation kernels and allows to include a source term. The classical coagulation…
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…

There is now strong evidence that the current energy density of the Universe is dominated by dark energy with an equation of state w<-1/3, which is causing accelerated expansion. The build-up of structure within such Universes is subject to…

Motivated by the recent results of Andreis-Iyer-Magnanini (2023), we provide a short proof, revisiting the one of Escobedo-Mischler-Perthame (2002), that for a large class of coagulation kernels, any weak solution to the Smoluchowski…
