In this work, the continuous Redner-Ben-Avraham-Kahng (RBK) coagulation model is investigated using the Beyond Linear Use of Equation Superposition (BLUES) function method. The proposed framework extends the BLUES methodology to the continuous RBK coagulation equation and provides an efficient semi-analytical approach for computing particle concentrations and their integral moments. Its performance is assessed through comparisons with available analytical solutions, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the accelerated homotopy perturbation method (AHPM), and, where exact solutions are unavailable, the finite volume method (FVM). The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy and faster convergence than existing semi-analytical approaches, particularly over extended time intervals.

Those profiles exhibit symmetries characteristic of linear phenomena. In this paper, the distortion of symmetry arising from the nonlinear effects is described explicitly. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the extent of this distortion differs significantly depending on the parity of the spatial dimension. This contradicts the conventional expectation that the manifestation of nonlinearity depends on the scale of the equation.

By the varying Chaplygin gas, we mean that the fluid obeys the pressure-density-time relation where the pressure is negative and is the product of a function of time and the inverse of the density. It includes the Chaplygin gas as an exceptional case. Through the variable substitution method, the solution formed by two contact discontinuities and the solution with delta-shock are constructed in completely explicit forms. Under the generalized Rankine-Hugoniot relation and entropy condition, the position, propagation speed and strength of the delta-shock are uniquely determined. It is discovered that the shape of delta-shock in characteristic plane is either an exponential type curve or a straight line. An interesting phenomenon concerning the delta-shock is that even when the delta-shock is a straight line, its weight is no longer linear function of time. The phenomenon is attributed to the presence of the mass source term. It means that mass source term can play a role in adjusting the weight of the delta-shock. Additionally, it is proved that the constructed Riemann solutions tend to those of nonhomogeneous zero-pressure Euler equations with the same initial data as varying Chaplygin gas tends to zero, and the constructed Riemann solutions converge to the corresponding ones of Chaplygin gas Euler equations with same initial data as both source terms vanish simultaneously.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":53132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Applicandae Mathematicae","volume":"204 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148782150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
