Well-posedness for a coagulation multiple-fragmentation equation

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a coagulation multiple-fragmentation equation, which describes the concentration c_t(x)c\_t(x) of particles of mass x∈(0,∞)x \in (0,\infty) at the instant t≥0t \geq 0 in a model where fragmentation and coalescence phenomena occur. We study the existence and uniqueness of measured-valued solutions to this equation for homogeneous-like kernels of homogeneity parameter λ∈(0,1]λ\in (0,1] and bounded fragmentation kernels, although a possibly infinite total fragmentation rate, in particular an infinite number of fragments, is considered. This work relies on the use of a Wasserstein-type distance, which has shown to be particularly well-adapted to coalescence phenomena. It was introduced in previous works on coagulation and coalescence.
