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 rate kernels $K(x,y)$ which are homogeneous of degree $gammain(-infty,1)$ and satisfy $K(x,1)sim{x}^{-a}$ as $xo0$, for $a=1-gamma$. In particular, for small values of a parameter $ho>0$ we establish the existence of a positive self-similar solution with finite mass and asymptotics $A(t)x^{-(2+ho)}$ as $xoinfty$, with $A(t)simho{t}^{f}racho1-gamma$.
