Abstract

Consider a spatially homogeneous infinite particle system in which coalescence and elastic collisions occur. The Boltzmann-Smoluchowski equation describes the evolution of the concentration $f(t, m, v)$ of particles of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ at time $t ≥ 0$. Using a stochastic version of this equation, we give an exact simulation scheme and we study the asymptotics of solutions for large times.
