Short summary
The mathematical description of finite volume coalescing systems relies on the multivariate master equation. However, due to its complexity, it has analytical solutions only for a limited number of kernels and initial conditions. In this paper, in an effort to solve this problem, we have introduced a novel numerical approach to calculate the solution of the multivariate coalescence master equation that works for any type of kernel and initial conditions.
