In the first one, the exchange reaction occurs between any two aggregates Ak^m and Af^m of the same species with the rate kernels Km（k,j）= Kmkj （m = 1, 2,... ,n, n ≥ 2）, and aggregates of A^n species catalyze a monomer-birth of A^l species （l = 1, 2 , n - 1） with the catalysis rate kernel Jl（k,j） -Jlkj^v. The kinetic behaviors are investigated by means of the mean-field theory. We find that the evolution behavior of aggregate-size distribution ak^l（t） of A^l species depends crucially on the value of the catalysis rate parameter v： （i） ak^l（t） obeys the conventional scaling law in the case of v ≤ 0, （ii） ak^l（t） satisfies a modified scaling form in the case of v 〉 0. In the second model, the mechanism of monomer-birth of An-species catalyzed by A^l species is added on the basis of the first model, that is, the aggregates of A^l and A^n species catalyze each other to cause monomer-birth. The kinetic behaviors of A^l and A^n species are found to fall into two categories for the different v： （i） growth obeying conventional scaling form with v ≤ 0, （ii） gelling at finite time with v 〉 0.展开更多

In the model, three distinct aggregates grow by exchange of monomers and in parallel, birth of species A is catalyzed by species B and death of species A is catalyzed by species C. The rates for both catalysis processes are proportional to kj^v and ky respectively, where ν（ω） is a parameter reflecting the dependence of the catalysis reaction rate of birth （death） on the catalyst aggregate＇s size. The kinetic evolution behaviors of the three species are investigated by the rate equation approach based on the mean-field theory： The form of the aggregate size distribution of A-species αk（t） is found to be dependent crucially on the two catalysis rate kernel parameters. The results show that （i） in case of ν ≤O, the form of ak （t） mainly depends on the competition between self-exchange of species A and species-C-catalyzed death of species A; （ii） in case of ν 〉 0, the form of αk（t） mainly depends on the competition between species-B-catalyzed birth of species A and species-C-catalyzed death of species A.展开更多

Based on the mean-field rate equations, we investigate the evoIution behavior of the system with the size-dependent catalysis-driven decomposition rate J（i; j; k） = Jijk^v and the constant aggregation rates. The results show that the cluster size distribution of the species without decomposition can always obey the conventional scaling law in the case of 0 ≤v ≤ 1, while the kinetic evolution of the decomposed species depends crucially on the index v. Moreover, the total size of the species without decomposition can keep a nonzero value at large times, while the total size of the decomposed species decreases exponentially with time and vanishes finally.展开更多
