Title On the Smoluchowski coagulation equation for aggregation phenomena
Day 1: Well-posedness, properties, physical relevant cogulation kernels, Dynamical scaling solutions
Mass/ moment conservation
Day2: space-dependent particle model convergence to Smoluchowski equation.
Physical kernels: $K=l/d$, $l$ mean free path, $d$ particle density,
$K \to 0$ continuum regime, Brownian kernel, $K(v,w)\approx (v^{1/3}+ w^{1/3})$
$K=O(1)$ transition regime,
$K \to \infty$ Free molecular regime (Ballistic kernel) $K(v,w) \approx (1/v +1/w)^{1/2} (v^{1/3}+w^{1/3})^2 $
Vaildation of Smoluchowski equation: from Marcus-Lushnikov process Large system limit and identification for gelation Propagation of chaos for a coalescing particle system with constant kernel

Day3: With source term, stationary injection solution
