Abstract

We study multicomponent coagulation via the Smoluchowski coagulation equation under non-equilibrium stationary conditions induced by a source of small clusters. The coagulation kernel can be very general, merely satisfying certain power law asymptotic bounds in terms of the total number of monomers in a cluster. The bounds are characterized by two parameters and we extend previous results for one-component systems to classify the parameter values for which the above stationary solutions do or do not exist. Moreover, we also obtain criteria for the existence or non-existence of solutions which yield a constant flux of mass towards large clusters.
