We study hydrodynamic limits of the cluster coagulation model; a coagulation model introduced by Norris [$\textit{Comm. Math. Phys.}$, 209(2):407-435 (2000)]. In this process, pairs of particles $x,y$ in a measure space $E$, merge to form a…

We present a detailed study of the statistics of a system of diffusing aggregating particles with a steady monomer source. We emphasise the case of low spatial dimensions where strong diffusive fluctuations invalidate the mean-field…

In this article, we investigate the convergence behavior of two classes of gathering protocols with fixed circulant topologies using tools from dynamical systems. Given a fixed number of mobile entities moving in the Euclidean plane, we…

We study percolation on networks, which is used as a model of the resilience of networked systems such as the Internet to attack or failure and as a simple model of the spread of disease over human contact networks. We reformulate…

We utilize cosmological simulations of 16 galaxy clusters at redshifts \zeq{0} and \zeq{0.6} to study the effect of inflowing streams on the properties of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium. We find that the mass accretion occurs…

When polydisperse granular systems are sheared, the transverse dynamics is characterized by the interplay of size segregation and diffusion. Segregation in nonuniform and confined shearing flows is studied using annular shear cell…

The evolution and the statistical properties of an infinite gravitating system represent an interesting and widely investigated subject of research. In cosmology, the standard approach is based on equations of hydrodynamics. In the present…

We study the factorised steady state of a general class of mass transport models in which mass, a conserved quantity, is transferred stochastically between sites. Condensation in such models is exhibited when above a critical mass density…

In concentrated electrolytes with asymmetric or irregular ions, such as ionic liquids and solvent-in-salt electrolytes, ion association is more complicated than simple ion-pairing. Large branched aggregates can form at significant…

A new ``Percolation with Clustering'' (PWC) model is introduced, where (the probabilities of) site percolation configurations on the leaf set of a binary tree are rewarded exponentially according to a generic function, which measures the…

We introduce a mean-field framework for the study of systems of interacting particles sharing a conserved quantity. The work generalises and unites the existing fields of asset-exchange models, often applied to socio-economic systems, and…

The paper outlines an exact combinatorial approach to finite coagulating systems. In this approach, cluster sizes and time are discrete, and the binary aggregation alone governs the time evolution of the systems. By considering the growth…

This model describes cluster aggregation in a stirred colloidal solution Interacting clusters compete for growth in this 'winner-takes-all' model; for finite assemblies, the largest cluster always wins, i.e. there is a uniform sediment. In…

The dynamics of a 2D site percolation model on a square lattice is studied using the hierarchical approach introduced by Gabrielov et al., Phys. Rev. E, 60, 5293-5300, 1999. The key elements of the approach are the tree representation of…

We study aggregation-fragmentation processes in which pairs of clusters can aggregate, and each cluster can break into two fragments. If the rates of aggregation and fragmentation do not depend on the masses, detailed balance does not hold,…
