Classical non-mass-preserving solutions of coagulation equations
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 29 (2012) no. 4, p. 589-635
In this paper we construct classical solutions of a family of coagulation equations with homogeneous kernels that exhibit the behaviour known as gelation. This behaviour consists in the loss of mass due to the fact that some of the particles can become infinitely large in finite time.
