We investigate the orbital evolution of 10 13 -to 10 25 -g planetesimals near 1 AU and in the asteroid belt (near 2.6 AU) prior to the stage of evolution when the mutual perturbations between the planetesimals become important. We include nebular gas drag and the effects of Jupiter and Saturn at the

Planetary accretion from planetesimals to protoplanets is investigated using three-dimensional N-body simulations. The effect of gas drag due to solar nebula is included and realistic-sized planetesimals with a standard material density are used, with which the growth time scale of planetesimals is
We have performed N-body simulation on final accretion stage of terrestrial planets, including the effect of damping of eccentricity and inclination caused by tidal interaction with a remnant gas disk. As a result of runway and oligarchic accretion, about 20 Marssized protoplanets would be formed in
The theory of dynamic systems was used for a simulation of the transition between branched and network macromolecular structures. The system of difference equations was proposed as a corresponding model. The dependence of the limit fraction of crosslinked units on the values of equation coefficients
