Abstract

In this paper, a partial integro-differential equation modeling of coagulation and multiple fragmentation events is studied. Our purpose is to investigate the global existence of gelling weak solutions to the continuous coagulation and multiple fragmentation equation for a certain class of coagulation rate, linear selection rate and breakage function. Here, the coagulation rate has singularity for small mass (size) and growing as polynomial function of mass for large particles whereas the breakage function attains singularity near the origin. Moreover, a weak fragmentation process is considered for large mass particles to prove this result. The gelation transition is also discussed separately for both Smoluchowski coagulation equation and combined form of coagulation and multiple fragmentation equation. Finally, the long time behavior of solutions of the coagulation and multiple fragmentation is demonstrated.
