We propose a simple model for studying small-x physics in which we take onlythe collinearly enhanced part of leading and subleading kernels, for allpossible transverse momentum orderings. The small-x equation reduces to asecond order differential equation in t=log k^2/Lambda^2 space, whoseperturbative and strong-coupling features are investigated both analyticallyand numerically. For two-scale processes, we clarify the transition mechanismbetween the perturbative, non Regge regime and the strong-coupling Pomeronbehavior.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, LaTeX file, uses JHEP.cl
