CONSERVATIVE AND SHATTERING SOLUTIONS FOR SOME CLASSES OF FRAGMENTATION MODELS

From MaRDI portal





The author uses the stochastic semigroup approach to study the existence for the fragmentation model \[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t}u(x,t)=-a(x)u(x,t)+\int_{x}^{\infty} a(y)b(x/y)u(y,t)\,dx,\quad t\geq0\text{ and }x\geq0,\tag{a} \] where \(u\) denotes the concentration of particles of mass \(x\), the function \(a\) is the fragmentation rate, and the function \(b\) describes the distribution of \(x\)-clusters spawned by the fragmentation of an \(y\)-cluster. The total mass of the particles at time \(t\) is \[ M(t)=\int_{x}^{\infty}xu(x,t)\,dx. \] The phase space of equation (a) is \(L^{1}(\mathbb R^{+},x\,dx).\) The author considers the so-called shattering fragmentation, that is, the decrease of the total mass of the system which is formally conservative. He also discusses the existence of multiple solutions which implies that the system does not give the full dynamics of the model.
