dc.descriptionThe gravitational instability of expanding shells is discussed. Linear and nonlinear terms are included in an analytical solution in the static and homogeneous medium. We discuss the interaction of modes and give the time needed for fragmentation. Masses of individual fragments are also estimated and their formation rates and the initial mass function are derived. Results of simulations are compared to observation.
