New exactly solvable models of Smoluchowski’s equations of coagulation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Smoluchowski equations of coagulation are solved analytically in two cases involving a finite cut-off of the system: the constant kernel set to zero for any j > N on the one hand, and the general three-particle case on the other. Both are seen to exhibit rather unusual large-time behaviour. The first model can be used to account for large particles precipitating out of a system and its behaviour is therefore of particular interest.

A Quick Introduction to Kinetic Theory
The purpose of these notes is to advertise kinetic theory to beginning graduate students with an interest in analysis and differential equations. Kinetic theory is a very active area of research in mathematics, yet there are few introductory expositions to the field. These notes provide an overview of some fundamental examples in kinetic theory, while including sufficient detail to make it appa...
متن کاملTwo solvable systems of coagulation equations with limited aggregations
We consider two simple models for the formation of polymers where at the initial time, each monomer has a certain number of potential links (called arms in the text) that are consumed when aggregations occur. Loosely speaking, this imposes restrictions on the number of aggregations. The dynamics of concentrations are governed by modifications of Smoluchowski’s coagulation equations. Applying cl...
متن کاملDynamical Scaling in Smoluchowski's Coagulation Equations: Uniform Convergence
We consider the approach to self-similarity (or dynamical scaling) in Smoluchowski’s coagulation equations for the solvable kernels K(x, y) = 2, x+ y and xy. We prove the uniform convergence of densities to the self-similar solution with exponential tails under the regularity hypothesis that a suitable moment have an integrable Fourier transform. For the discrete equations we prove uniform conv...
متن کاملApproach to self-similarity in Smoluchowski’s coagulation equations
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 are one-parameter families of solutions with algebraic decay, whose form is related to heavy-tailed distributions well-known in probability theory. For K = 2...
متن کاملA kinetic theory of shock clustering in scalar conservation laws
We describe a kinetic theory for shock clustering in scalar conservation laws with random initial data. Our main discovery is that for a natural class of random data the shock clustering is described by a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. Thus, the problem is in a precise sense exactly solvable. Our results have implications in other areas: mathematical physics (limits of shell models o...
