Abstract: We consider the area $A=in{t}_0^{infty}left(su{m}_{i=1}^{infty}{X}_i(t)ight)dt$ of a self-similar fragmentation process $X=(X(t),tgeq0)$ with negative index. We characterize the law of $A$ by an integro-differential equation. The latter may be viewed as the infinitesimal version of a recursive distribution equation that arises naturally in this setting. In the case of binary splitting, this yields a recursive formula for the entire moments of $A$ which generalizes known results for the area of the Brownian excursion.
