چکیده
This paper continues the authors’ previous study (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2016) of the trend toward equilibrium of the Becker-Döring equations with subcritical mass, by characterizing certain fine properties of solutions to the linearized equation. In particular, we partially characterize the spectrum of the linearized operator, showing that it contains the entire imaginary axis in polynomially weighted spaces. Moreover, we prove detailed cutoff estimates that establish upper and lower bounds on the lifetime of a class of perturbations to equilibrium.

Polynomial decay to equilibrium for the Becker-Döring equations
This paper studies rates of decay to equilibrium for the Becker-Döring equations with subcritical initial data. In particular, polynomial rates of decay are established when initial perturbations of equilibrium have polynomial moments. This is proved by using new dissipation estimates in polynomially weighted ` spaces, operator decomposition techniques from kinetic theory, and interpolation est...

متن کاملCluster renormalization in the Becker-Döring equations
We apply ideas from renormalization theory to models of cluster formation in nucleation and growth processes. We study a simple case of the Becker-Döring system of equations and show how a novel coarsegraining procedure applied to the cluster aggregation space affects the coagulation and fragmentation rate coefficients. A dynamical renormalization structure is found to underlie the Becker-Dörin...
متن کاملAsymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Becker-Döring equations for general initial data
Abstract We prove the following asymptotic behavior for solutions to the generalized Becker-Döring system for general initial data: under a detailed balance assumption and in situations where density is conserved in time, there is a critical density ρs such that solutions with an initial density ρ0 ≤ ρs converge strongly to the equilibrium with density ρ0, and solutions with initial density ρ0 ...
متن کاملTrend to Equilibrium for the Becker-döring Equations: an Analogue of Cercignani’s Conjecture
We investigate the rate of convergence to equilibrium for subcritical solutions to the Becker-Döring equations with physically relevant coagulation and fragmentation coefficients and mild assumptions on the given initial data. Using a discrete version of the log-Sobolev inequality with weights we show that in the case where the coagulation coefficient grows linearly and the detailed balance coe...
