Abstract
We consider an infinite system of reaction-diffusion equations which describes the dynamics of cluster growth, and show that there are solutions which exist for all times and exhibit a sol-gel transition in a finite time. The manner in which such transition occurs is discussed, and a gelation profile is derived.
