Mass-Conserving Self-Similar Solutions to Collision-Induced Breakage Equations

Abstract

Existence of mass-conserving self-similar solutions to collision-induced breakage equation is shown for a specific class of homogeneous collision kernels and breakage functions. The proof mainly relies on a dynamical approach and compactness method to constructing mass-conserving stationary solutions for an evolution problem, which induces mass-conserving self-similar solutions to collision-induced breakage equation. Furthermore, we also determine lower and upper bound of the scaling profile.
