Exact Solutions of Fragmentation Equations with General Fragmentation Rates and Separable Particles Distribution Kernels

Abstract: We make use of Laplace transform techniques and the method of characteristics to solve fragmentation equations explicitly. Our result is a breakthrough in the analysis of pure fragmentation equations as this is the first instance where an exact solution is provided for the fragmentation evolution equation with general fragmentation rates. This paper is the key for resolving most of the open problems in fragmentation theory including “shattering” and the sudden appearance of infinitely many particles in some sy… Show more

“…Note that the analytical solution (4) in the Laplace space includes the previously studied case of A = 1 and v 0 → ∞. [22] The analytical solution in real space (v, t) can be obtained by inverting expression (4). Now taking into account expressions (3), the inverse Laplace transforms [24] 1 p + λ → exp(−λt) ,…”

“…Note that expression (5) transforms to the previously known distribution function [22] in the limiting case of infinitely large initial particle volume (v 0 → ∞) and A = 1. It is easily seen that the distribution function increases and narrows with increasing the process time (Fig.…”

“…In this way we compute few terms to approximate the solution of the fractional fragmentation Cauchy problem (28)- (29) and the asymptotic solution is given by (40). The existence of solutions to (28)- (29) is guaranteed by the condition (30).…”

“…The efficiency of these methods is limited as these problems are reformulated in abstract spaces that are norm dependent and the overall behavior of the dynamics changes radically as different metrics are included in the system. In [40], the authors provided explicit solutions to clusters' fragmentation equations with general fragmentation rates, giving a general framework for understanding particles distributions in fragmentation processes as time evolves. Although the result is a breakthrough in the analysis of clusters's fragmentation equations with arbitrary fragmentation rates, the phenomenon of shattering remains partially unexplained.…”
