Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the coagulation-fragmentation equations. II: Weak fragmentation. (English) Zbl 0838.60089

Summary: [For part I (by the first author) see Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A 121, No. 3-4, 231–244 (1992; Zbl 0760.34044).]
The discrete coagulation-fragmentation equations are a model for the kinetics of cluster growth in which clusters can coagulate via binary interactions to form larger clusters or fragment to form smaller ones. The assumptions made on the fragmentation coefficients have the physical interpretation that surface effects are important. Our results on the asymptotic behavior of solutions generalize the corresponding results of J. M. Ball, the first author, and O. Penrose [Commun. Math. Phys. 104, 657–692 (1986; Zbl 0594.58063)] for the Becker-Döring equation.
