Inhaltsangabe

Analytic Methods for Coagulation-Fragmentation Models is a two-volume set that provides a comprehensive exposition of the mathematical analysis of coagulation-fragmentation models. Initially, an in-depth survey of coagulation-fragmentation processes is presented, together with an account of relevant early results obtained on the associated model equations. These provide motivation for the subsequent detailed treatment of more up-to-date investigations which have led to significant theoretical developments on topics such as solvability and the long-term behaviour of solutions. To make the account as self-contained as possible, the mathematical tools that feature prominently in these modern treatments are introduced at appropriate places. The main theme of Volume I is the analysis of linear fragmentation models, with Volume II devoted to processes that involve the nonlinear contribution of coagulation.

Features of Volume I:

• The main models of the theory together with their derivations and early methods of solution
• A detailed presentation of the operator theoretical methods and semigroup theory that play an essential role in the theory of fragmentation processes
• A comprehensive theory of fragmentation processes, including fragmentation with growth and decay in both the discrete and continuous particle size cases
• An analytical explanation of the `pathologies’ of the fragmentation equation, such as the shattering phase transition and non-uniqueness of solutions
• An analysis of the long-term dynamics of the discrete size fragmentation equation with growth

He is the author/co-author of 5 monographs and over 120 papers in these fields. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Afrika Matematika (Springer). In 2012 received the South African Mathematical Society Award for Research Distinction and in 2013 he was awarded the Cross of Merit (Silver) of the Republic of Poland.

Wilson Lamb is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, having retired recently from his position there as a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics. He is also a Member of the Associate Faculty of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences. His main research interests lie in Applicable Functional Analysis, Evolution Equations and the Mathematical Analysis of Coagulation and Fragmentation Processes. He has published over 45 refereed research publications, and has given lecture courses at all levels to undergraduate and postgraduate students. These include courses on differential equations, functional analysis, dynamical systems and mathematical biology. He was nominated for the University of Strathclyde Students’ Association Teaching Excellence Awards in 2012, 2013 and 2014; in 2013, he was shortlisted for the category of "Best in Science Faculty".

Philippe Laurençot is Directeur de Recherche (senior researcher) at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and is affiliated with the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse, France. His main research interests include the mathematical analysis of evolution partial differential equations, dynamical system approach to evolution partial differential equations, coagulation equations and mathematical models in biology.
