Conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation
Abstract
We study a conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation in one dimension. In the model, the whole mass of a site isotropically diffuse with unit rate. With rate , a mass is fragmented from the site and moves to a randomly selected nearest neighbor site. Since the fragmented mass is smaller than the whole mass of a site for , the on-site attractive interaction exists for the case. For , the model is known to undergo the condensation phase transitions from a fluid phase into a condensed phase as the density of total masses () increases beyond a critical density . For , we numerically confirm for several values of that diverges with the system size . Hence in thermodynamic limit, the condensed phase disappears and no transitions take place in one dimension. We also explain that there are no transitions in any dimensions.
