The regularity of the scaling profiles ψ to Smoluchowski’s coagulation equation is studied when the coagulation kernel K is given by K(x, y) = xλ + yλ with λ∈ (0, 1). More precisely, ψ is C1-smooth on (0,∞) and decays exponentially fast for large x. Furthermore, the singular behaviour of ψ(x) as x → 0 is identified, thus giving a rigorous proof of physical conjectures.

This article is concerned with the question of uniqueness of self-similar profiles for Smoluchowski’s coagulation equation which exhibit algebraic decay (fat tails) at infinity. More precisely, we consider a rate kernel K K which can be written as K = 2 + ε W K=2+\varepsilon W . The perturbation is assumed to have homogeneity zero and might also be singular both at zero and at infinity. Under further regularity assumptions on W W , we will show that for sufficiently small ε \varepsilon there exists, up to normalisation of the tail behaviour at infinity, at most one self-similar profile. Establishing uniqueness of self-similar profiles for Smoluchowski’s coagulation equation is generally considered to be a difficult problem which is still essentially open. Concerning fat-tailed self-similar profiles this article actually gives the first uniqueness statement for a non-solvable kernel.
