Standard stochastic coalescence with sum kernels

Fournier Nicolas (Paris 12)

Abstract


We build a Markovian system of particles entirely characterized by their masses, in which each pair of particles with masses $x$ and $y$ coalesce at rate $K(x,y)\simeq x^\lambda+y^\lambda$, for some $\lambda \in (0,1)$, and such that the system is initially composed of infinitesimally small particles.
