We consider the approach to self-similarity (or dynamical scaling) in Smoluchowski's equations of coagulation for the solvable kernels $K(x,y)=2$, $x+y$ and $xy$. In addition to the known self-similar solutions with exponential tails, there…
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 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…
