Scientific paper

We propose that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) arises as a
consequence of the existence of random supersonic flows in molecular
clouds. A Miller-Scalo like IMF is predicted for the typical physical
conditions in molecular clouds, and a more ``massive'' one in star
bursts.
