PIMS/AMI Seminar: A stochastic min-driven coalescence process and its hydrodynamical limit

  • Date: 05/03/2010
Lecturer(s):
Philippe Laurençot (Université de Toulouse)
Location: 

University of Alberta

Description: 

A stochastic system of particles is considered in which the sizes of the particles increase by successive binary mergers with the constraint that each coagulation event involves a particle with minimal size. Convergence of a suitably renormalised version of this process to a deterministic hydrodynamical limit is shown and the time evolution of the minimal size is studied for both deterministic and stochastic models (joint work with with Anne-Laure Basdevant, James R. Norris, and Clement Rau).
