We study a spatially inhomogeneous coagulation model that contains a transport term in the spatial variable. The transport term models the vertical motion of particles due to gravity, thereby incorporating their fall into the dynamics.…
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 the approach to self-similarity (or dynamical scaling) in Smoluchowski's coagulation equations for the solvable kernels K(x,y)=2, x+y and xy. We prove the uniform convergence of densities to the self-similar solution with…
We consider a coagulation multiple-fragmentation equation, which describes the concentration $c\_t(x)$ of particles of mass $x \in (0,\infty)$ at the instant $t \geq 0$ in a model where fragmentation and coalescence phenomena occur. We…

Smoluchowski's coagulation equations can be used as elementary mathematical models for the formation of polymers. We review here some recent contributions on a variation of this model in which the number of aggregations for each atom is a…
We study an infinite system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of coagulating and fragmenting clusters, which we assume to be composed of identical units. Under very mild assumptions on the coefficients we prove…
Researchers have employed variations of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation to model a wide variety of both organic and inorganic phenomena and with relatively few known analytical solutions, numerical solutions play an important role in…
Existence and non-existence of integrable stationary solutions to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with source are investigated when the source term is integrable with an arbitrary support in (0, $\infty$). Besides algebraic upper and…
We introduce a one-dimensional stochastic system where particles perform independent diffusions and interact through pairwise coagulation events, which occur at a nontrivial rate upon collision. Under appropriate conditions on the diffusion…
We study the similarity solutions (SS) of Smoluchowski coagulation equation with multiplicative kernel $K(x,y)=(xy)^{s}$ for $s<\frac{1}{2}$. When $s<0$% , the SS consists of three regions with distinct asymptotic behaviours. The…
This paper extends the Concentration-Compactness Principle to Musielak-Orlicz spaces, working in both bounded and unbounded domains. We show that our results include important special cases like classical Orlicz spaces, variable exponent…
We study the solutions of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation with a regularisation term which removes clusters from the system when their mass exceeds a specified cut-off size, M. We focus primarily on collision kernels which would…
This paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of solutions to kinetic equations describing alignment of self-propelled particles. The particularity of these models is that the velocity variable is not on the euclidean space but…
Systems of self-propelled particles (SPP) interacting by a velocity alignment mechanism in the presence of noise exhibit a rich clustering dynamics. It can be argued that clusters are responsible for the distribution of (local) information…
