On the discrete Safronov-Dubovskii coagulation equation: well-posedness, mass-conservation and asymptotic behaviour

The global existence of mass-conserving weak solutions to the Safronov-Dubovskii coagulation equation is shown for the coagulation kernels satisfying the at most linear growth for large sizes. In contrast to previous works, the proof mainly relies on the de la Vallee-Poussin theorem [8, Theorem 7.1.6], which only requires the finiteness of the first moment of the initial condition. By showing the necessary regularity of solutions, it is shown that the weak solutions con-structed herein are indeed classical solutions. Under additional restrictions on the initial data, the uniqueness of solutions is also shown. Finally, the continuous dependence on the initial data and the large-time behaviour of solutions are also addressed.

Instantaneous gelation and nonexistence for the Oort-Hulst-Safronov coagulation model

The possible occurrence of instantaneous gelation to Oort-Hulst-Safronov (OHS) coagulation equation is investigated for a certain class of unbounded coagulation kernels. The existence of instantaneous gelation is confirmed by showing the nonexistence of mass-conserving weak solutions. Finally, it is shown that for such kernels, there is no weak solution to the OHS coagulation equation at any time interval.

Mass-conserving weak solutions to Oort-Hulst-Safronov coagulation equation with singular rates

Existence of global weak solutions to the continuous Oort-Hulst-Safronov (OHS) coagulation equation is investigated for coagulation kernels capturing a singularity near zero and growing linearly at infinity. The proof mainly relies on a relation, between classical Smoluchowski coagulation equation (SCE) and OHS coagulation equation, which is introduced in [16] as generalized coagulation equation. Moreover, all weak solutions formulated in a suitable sense are demonstrated to be mass-conserving. We obtain here a similar result for OHS coagulation equation as the one in [6] for SCE.
