Abstract: We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions with time dependent tails for Smoluchowski's coagulation equation, for a class of kernels K(x,y) which are homogeneous of degree one and satisfy K(x,1)ok0>0 as xo0. In particular, we establish the existence of a critical ho>0 with the property that for all hoin(0,ho) there is a positive and differentiable self-similar solution with finite mass M and decay A(t)x(2+ho) as xoinfty, with A(t)=eM(1+ho)t. Furthermore, we show that (weak) self-similar solutions in the class of positive measures cannot exist for large values of the parameter ho.
