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 Ball, Carr, and Penrose for the Becker-Doring equation.engClusteringCoagulationFragmentationPhase transitionAsymptotic behaviourjournal article
