Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonlinear breakage equations (Q2566923)

Dynamics of cluster growth when binary collision of clusters occur is modeled by so-called breakage equations. The model consists of a countable number of nonlocally coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations illustrating the concentration of various clusters. The author studies the asymptotic behavior of solutions of such systems of equations as the time tends to infinity by investigating the weak\(^*\) convergence of them (to certain equilibrium state). A result concerning the strong convergence is also given. The results of the paper extend and improve the results of \textit{Ph. Laurencot} and \textit{D. Wrzosek} [J. Stat. Phys. 104, No. 1--2, 193--220 (2001; Zbl 1126.82320)].
