Nontrivial Velocity Distributions in Inelastic Gases
P. L. Krapivsky, E. Ben-Naim
We study freely evolving and forced inelastic gases using the Boltzmann equation. We consider uniform collision rates and obtain analytical results valid for arbitrary spatial dime…

Stable Distributions in Stochastic Fragmentation
P. L. Krapivsky, E. Ben-Naim, I. Grosse
We investigate a class of stochastic fragmentation processes involving stable and unstable fragments. We solve analytically for the fragment length density and find that a generic…

Extremal properties of random trees
E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky, Satya N. Majumdar
We investigate extremal statistical properties such as the maximal and the minimal heights of randomly generated binary trees. By analyzing the master evolution equations we show t…
