Gelation and Mass Conservation in Coagulation-fragmentation Models
The occurrence of gelation and the existence of mass-conserving solutions to the continuous coagulation-fragmentation equation are investigated under various assumptions on the coagulation and fragmentation rates, thereby completing the already known results. A non-uniqueness result is also established and a connection to the modified coagulation model of Flory is also made.
متن کاملRegularity and mass conservation for discrete coagulation-fragmentation equations with diffusion
We present a new a-priori estimate for discrete coagulation-fragmentation systems with size-dependent diffusion within a bounded, regular domain confined by homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. Following from a duality argument, this a-priori estimate provides a global L2 bound on the mass density and was previously used, for instance, in the context of reaction-diffusion equations. In this...
متن کاملExplosion Phenomena in Stochastic Coagulation – Fragmentation Models
First we establish explosion criteria for jump processes with an arbitrary locally compact separable metric state space. Then these results are applied to two stochastic coagulation–fragmentation models— the direct simulation model and the mass flow model. In the pure coagulation case, there is almost sure explosion in the mass flow model for arbitrary homogeneous coagulation kernels with expon...
متن کاملInstantaneous gelation in coagulation dynamics
The formation of a distribution of cluster sizes is a common feature in a wide variety of situations. Examples include astrophysics, atmospheric physics and polymer science, [2, 3, 8]. In this paper we discuss some mathematical aspects of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation which is a model for the dynamics of cluster growth. This model involves a coupled infinite system of ordinary different...
متن کاملCoagulation Equations with Gelation
Smoluchowski's equation for rapid coagulation is used to describe the kinetics of gelation, in which the coagulation kernel Kij models the bonding mechanism. For different classes of kernels we derive criteria for the occurrence of gelation, and obtain critical exponents in the preand postgelation stage in terms of the model parameters; we calculate bounds on the time of gelation to, and give a...
