We investigate non-linear scaling relations for two-dimensional gravitational collapse in an expanding background using a 2D TreePM code and study the strongly non-linear regime ($\bar\xi \leq 200$) for power law models. Evolution of these…
Padmanabhan (1996) has suggested a model to relate the nonlinear two - point correlation function to the linear two - point correlation function. In this paper, we extend this model in two directions: (1) By averaging over the initial…
