Abstract

Shrinkage of large particles, either through depolymerisation (i.e. progressive shortening) or through fragmentation (breakage into smaller pieces) may be modelled by discrete equations, of Becker-D\''oring type, or by continuous ones. In this note, we review two kinds of inverse problems: the first is the estimation of the initial size-distribution from moments measurements in a depolymerising system, in collaboration with Philippe Moireau and inspired by experiments carried out by Human Rezaei's team; the second is the inference of fragmentation characteristics from size distribution samples, in collaboration with Miguel Escobedo and Magali Tournus, based on biological questions and experiments of Wei-Feng Xue's team.
