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.…
An existence result on weak solutions to the continuous coagulation equation with collision-induced multiple fragmentation is established for certain classes of unbounded coagulation, collision and breakup kernels. In this model, a pair of…
We study infinite systems of particles which undergo coalescence and fragmentation, in a manner determined solely by their masses. A pair of particles having masses $x$ and $y$ coalesces at a given rate $K(x,y)$. A particle of mass $x$…
We consider the dynamics of finite systems of point masses which move along the real line. We suppose the particles interact pairwise and undergo perfectly inelastic collisions when they collide. In particular, once particles collide, they…
To model the dynamics of polymers formed through nucleation, elongated by polymerisation, shortened by depolymerisation and subject to aggregation reactions, we study a nonlinear integro-differential equation. Growth and shrinkage are…
The Marcus-Lushnikov process is a simple mean field model of coagulating particles that converges to the homogeneous Smoluchowski equation in the large mass limit. If the coagulation rates grow sufficiently fast as the size of particles get…
We study multicomponent coagulation via the Smoluchowski coagulation equation under non-equilibrium stationary conditions induced by a source of small clusters. The coagulation kernel can be very general, merely satisfying certain power law…
Coagulation-fragmentation processes describe the stochastic association and dissociation of particles in clusters. Cluster dynamics with cluster-cluster interactions for a finite number of particles has recently attracted attention…
We study a spatial Markovian particle system with pairwise coagulation, a spatial version of the Marcus--Lushnikov process: according to a coagulation kernel $K$, particle pairs merge into a single particle, and their masses are united. We…
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…
Particles of low velocity, travelling without dissipation in a superfluid, can interact and emit sound when they collide. We propose a minimal model in which the equations of motion of the particles, including a short-range repulsive force,…
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 study a model of mass-bearing coagulating planar Brownian particles. Coagulation is prone to occur when two particles become within a distance of order $\epsilon$. We assume that the initial number of particles is of the order of $| \log…
This article is devoted to a generalized version of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. This model describes the time evolution of a system of aggregating particles under the effect of external input and output particles. We show that for…
We consider a coupled system consisting of a kinetic equation coupled to a macroscopic Stokes (or Navier-Stokes) equation and describing the motion of a suspension of rigid rods in gravity. A reciprocal coupling leads to the formation of…
We consider a physical system comprising discrete massive particles on the real line whose trajectories interact via perfectly inelastic collision, also known as sticky particles. It turns out that polygons formed in a convex "cumulative…
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…
A notion of measure solution is formulated for a coagulation-diffusion equation, which is the natural counterpart of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation in a spatially inhomogeneous setting. Some general properties of such solutions are…
In this paper we construct classical solutions of a family of coagulation equations with homogeneous kernels that exhibit the behaviour known as gelation. This behaviour consists in the loss of mass due to the fact that some of the…
