We prove global existence and uniqueness to the initial value problem for the coagulation–fragmentation equation for an unbounded coagulation kernel with possible linear growth at infinity and a fragmentation kernel from a very large class of unbounded functions. We show that the solutions satisfy the mass conservation law.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
