The discrete coagulation–fragmentation equations with a bilinear coagulation kernel, describing the evolution of clusters of particles undergoing binary reactions, are studied. We compute the gelation time and post-gelation mass for the pure coagulation equation. A method of characteristics is developed to solve numerically the partial differential equation satisfied by a moment generating function for a product coagulation kernel and a constant fragmentation rate. The accuracy of the numerical method is verified by comparison of the numerical results with an exact solution for the number density of monomers. For a given coagulation rate, a critical value of the fragmentation rate, values greater than which lead to mass conservation, is identified.
