Abstract
It is proven how the post-gelation behaviour originally suggested by Flory(1993) can be obtained as a result of a limiting process, passing from a finite to an infinite system. In a previous paper by the authors it was shown how the post-gelation behaviour first suggested by Stockmayer(1943) can be obtained by passing to the limit of an infinite system in a different way. It is thus demonstrated that different post-gelation solutions of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation can be obtained by different limiting processes.Keywords
