A theory of stationary particle size distributions in coagulating systems with particle injection at
small sizes is constructed. The size distributions have the form of power laws. Under rather general
assumptions, the exponent in the power law is shown to depend only on the degree of homogeneity
of the coagulation kernel. The results obtained depend on detailed and quite sensitive estimates of
various integral quantities governing the overall kinetics. The theory provides a unifying framework
for a number of isolated results reported previously in the literature. In particular, it provides a more
rigorous foundation for the scaling arguments of Hunt, which were based largely on dimensional
considerations.
