We develop a coagulation-fragmentation model to study a system composed of a small number of stochastic objects moving in a confined domain, that can aggregate upon binding to form local clusters of arbitrary sizes. A cluster can also…

We introduce and analyse a class of fragmentation-coalescence processes defined on finite systems of particles organised into clusters. Coalescent events merge multiple clusters simultaneously to form a single larger cluster, while…
We suggest a multifragmentation scenario in which fragments are produced at an early, high temperature and high density, stage of the reaction. In this scenario, self-bound clusters of particles in the hot and dense fluid are the precursors…

Fragmentation--coagulation processes, in which aggregates can break up or get together, often occur together with decay processes in which the components can be removed from the aggregates by a chemical reaction, evaporation, dissolution,…
The fragmentation equation is commonly expressed in terms of two functions, the rate of fragmentation and the mean number of fragments. In the case of binary fragmentation an alternative description is possible based on the fragmentation…
