Abstract
In this paper we prove the existence of a family of self-similar solutions for a class of coagulation equations with a constant flux of particles from the origin. These solutions are expected to describe the longtime asymptotics of Smoluchowski's coagulation equations with a time independent source of clusters concentrated in small sizes. The self-similar profiles are shown to be smooth, provided the coagulation kernel is also smooth. Moreover, the self-similar profiles are estimated from above and from below by $x^{-(\gamma+3)/2}$ as $x \to 0$, where $\gamma<1 $ is the homogeneity of the kernel, and are proven to decay at least exponentially as $x \to \infty$.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
