European Journal of Applied Mathematics, 31, (6), 950-967. doi:10.1017/S09567925190003290956-7925http://hdl.handle.net/10400.2/9137We analyse the structure of equilibria of a coagulation–fragmentation–death model of silicosis. We present exact multiplicity results in the particular case of piecewise constant coefficients, results on existence and non-existence of equilibria in the general case, as well as precise asymptotics for the infinite series that arise in the case of power law coefficients.engAsymptotic theoryGeneral theory in ordinary differential equationsPhysiological, cellular and medical topicsMellin transformSilicosisCoagulation-fragmentation-death equationsjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1017/S0956792519000329
