Theoretical analysis of a discrete population balance model with sum kernel

From MaRDI portal





Summary: The Oort-Hulst-Safronov equation is a relevant population balance model. Its discrete form, developed by Pavel Dubovski, is the main focus of our analysis. The existence and density conservation are established for non-negative symmetric coagulation rates satisfying \(V_{i,j} \leqslant i+j, \forall i,j \in \mathbb{N}\). Differentiability of the solutions is investigated for kernels with \(V_{i,j} \leqslant i^{\alpha}+j^{\alpha}\) where \(0 \leqslant \alpha \leqslant 1\) with initial conditions with bounded \((1+\alpha)\)-th moments. The article ends with a uniqueness result under an additional assumption on the coagulation kernel and the boundedness of the second moment.
