Random and deterministic fragmentation models

Wolfgang Wagner
2010 Monte Carlo Methods and Applications  
Random and deterministic fragmentation models are considered. Their relationship is studied by deriving different forms of the kinetic fragmentation equation from the corresponding stochastic models. Results related to the problem of non-conservation of mass (phase transition into dust) are discussed. Illustrative examples are given and some open problems are mentioned.
