On the Effect of Stochastic Fluctuations in the Dynamics of the Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner Model.

In this paper the dynamics of a system of spherical particles that fill a small volume fraction of the space and that evolves in a concentration field is discussed. Corrections to the Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner (LSW) model that take into account the stochastic character of the problem are computed. It is proved, under suitable smallness assumptions for the volume fraction filled by the particles, that the effect of these corrections does not modify much the dynamics of the self-similar solutions of the LSW system of equations.
