Global existence for the discrete diffusive coagulation-fragmentation equations in $$L^1$$. (English) Zbl 1036.35089
This paper shows existence of global weak solutions to the discrete coagulation-fragmentation equations with diffusion: $\begin{cases} \partial_t c_i -d_i \triangle_xc_i =Q_i (c), &\text{ in } (0, \, + \infty) \times\Omega, \\ \partial_n c_i = 0, &\text{ on } (0, + \infty )\times \partial \Omega, \\ c(0) = c_i^{i_n}, &\text{ in } \Omega. \end{cases}$ Unlike previous works requiring $$L^{\infty}$$-estimates, an $$L^1$$-approach is developed in this paper. The authors show that under rather general assumptions on the kinetic coefficients, there exists at least a weak solution to the above equations for any initial datum $$c^{i_n}=(c_i^{i_n})_{i \geq 1}$$ with finite total mass.
