Abstract

The sticky particle system is a system of partial differential equations which assert the conservation of mass and momentum of a collection of particles that interact only via inelastic collisions. These equations arise in Zel'dovich's theory for the formation of large scale structures in the universe. We will show that this system of equations has a solution in one spatial dimension for given initial conditions by generating a trajectory mapping in Lagrangian coordinates.
