Global existence of measure-valued solutions to the multicomponent Smoluchowski coagulation equation
Abstract
Global solutions to the multicomponent Smoluchowski coagulation equation are constructed for measure-valued initial data with minimal assumptions on the moments. The framework is based on an abstract formulation of the Arzel\`a-Ascoli theorem for uniform spaces. The result holds for a large class of coagulation rate kernels, satisfying a power-law upper bound with possibly different singularities at small-small, small-large and large-large coalescence pairs. This includes in particular both mass-conserving and gelling kernels, as well as interpolation kernels used in applications. We also provide short proofs of mass-conservation and gelation results for any weak solution, which extends previous results for one-component systems.
