摘要：
We derived solutions for the Smoluchowski kinetic equation for the mass function of galaxies, which describes mergers in differential approximation, where mergers with low-mass galaxies are the dominant factor. The evolution of the initial distribution is analyzed as well as the influence of the source represented by galaxies (halos) that disengage fromthe global cosmological expansion. It is shown that the evolution of the slope of the power-law portion of the luminosity function at a constant mass-to-luminosity ratio observed in the Ultradeep Hubble Field can be described as a result of explosive evolution driven by galaxy mergers. In this case the exponent depends exclusively on the uniformity degree of merger probability as a function of mass.
