Selection of the scaling solution in a cluster coalescence model
  The scaling properties of the cluster size distribution of a system of diffusing clusters is studied in terms of a simple kinetic mean field model. It is shown that a one parameter family of mathematically valid scaling solutions exists. Despite this, the kinetics reaches a unique scaling solution independent of initial conditions. This selected scaling solution is marginally physical; i.e., it is the borderline solution between the unphysical and physical branches of the family of solutions.
