On the dynamics of a self-gravitating medium with random and non-random initial conditions

Abstract

The dynamics of a one-dimensional self-gravitating medium, with initial density almost uniform is studied. Numerical experiments are performed with ordered and with Gaussian random initial conditions. The phase space portraits are shown to be qualitatively similar to shock waves, in particular with initial conditions of Brownian type. The PDF of the mass distribution is investigated.
