Popis: We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions with time dependent tails for Smoluchowski’s coagulation equation, for a class of kernels $${K(x,y)}$$ which are homogeneous of degree one and satisfy $${K(x,1) \to k_0 > 0}$$ as $${x\to 0}$$ . In particular, we establish the existence of a critical $${\rho_* > 0}$$ with the property that for all $${\rho\in(0,\rho_*)}$$ there is a positive and differentiable self-similar solution with finite mass M and decay $${A(t)x^{-(2+\rho)}}$$ as $${x\to\infty}$$ , with $${A(t)=e^{M(1+\rho)t}}$$ . Furthermore, we show that (weak) self-similar solutions in the class of positive measures cannot exist for large values of the parameter $${\rho}$$ .
