Abstract
A kind of joint coagulation process which contains binary and tribasic collisions is considered, and an explicit expression of the cluster size distributions has been derived for the special coagulation kernels (i,j)=ij and (i,j,k)=ijk, subject to the monodisperse initial condition. The long-time behavior of the size distribution, (t), has been discussed, and some interesting asymptotic properties of such coupled processes are revealed.
