Contents
We present some results on the basic existence, uniqueness, regularity and long-time behaviour of solutions to a system of differential equations modelling ``cluster eating''. The equations, one version of which can be written as \[\frac{dc_j}{dt} = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a_{j+k,k}c_{j+k}c_k - c_j\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}c_k,\;\;\;\; j\in \mathbf{N},\] were introduced in the late 1980s but only recently have been subject to a more detailed study. Connections with other models of cluster equations will be discussed.
