Well-posedness for a coagulation multiple-fragmentation equation

Probability 2015-02-10 v2 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

We consider a coagulation multiple-fragmentation equation, which describes the concentration c_t(x)c\_t(x) of particles of mass x(0,)x \in (0,\infty) at the instant t0t \geq 0 in a model where fragmentation and coalescence phenomena occur. We study the existence and uniqueness of measured-valued solutions to this equation for homogeneous-like kernels of homogeneity parameter λ(0,1]\lambda \in (0,1] and bounded fragmentation kernels, although a possibly infinite total fragmentation rate, in particular an infinite number of fragments, is considered. This work relies on the use of a Wasserstein-type distance, which has shown to be particularly well-adapted to coalescence phenomena. It was introduced in previous works on coagulation and coalescence.
