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 subject of this paper is a fragmentation equation with nonconservative solutions, some mass being lost to a dust of zero-mass particles as a consequence of an intensive splitting. Under some assumptions of regular variation on the…
The aim of this two-part paper is to investigate the stability properties of a special class of solutions to a coagulation-fragmentation equation. We assume that the coagulation kernel is close to the diagonal kernel, and that the…
Inertial particles suspended in many natural and industrial flows undergo coagulation upon collisions and fragmentation if their size becomes too large or if they experience large shear. Here we study this coagulation-fragmentation process…
In this work, we establish the existence of mass-conserving weak solutions to a nonlinear collision-induced breakage equation in which binary collisions may trigger particle breakup. The result is proved for a class of product-type…

Coalescence-fragmentation problems are of great interest across the physical, biological, and recently social sciences. They are typically studied from the perspective of the rate equations, at the heart of such models are the rules used…
In the paper, we study spatially distributed particle systems whose time evolution is governed by vanishing diffusion in space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, and by size-continuous fragmentation and coagulation processes with unbounded rates. We…

We present a model for sticky particles in which cluster sizes after a reaction have $\ell$ fewer total particles than the sum of their reactants. The finite particle system is modeled as a Markov process under a mean-field assumption for…
The inclusion of a fragmentation mechanism in population balance equations introduces complex interactions that make the analytical or even computational treatment much more difficult than for the pure aggregation case. This is specially…
We investigate a class of stochastic fragmentation processes involving stable and unstable fragments. We solve analytically for the fragment length density and find that a generic algebraic divergence characterizes its small-size tail.…
