【 摘 要 】

In the paper we shall present a survey of recent results on substochastic semigroups and provide new methods for determining their honesty. These methods are applied to the fragmentation equation with mass loss, yielding sufficient conditions for the existence of conservative and shattering solutions. Our results provide a mathematical framework that clarifies the discussion of [Phys. Rev. A 43 (1991) 656, Phys. Rev. A 41 (1990) 5755, J. Phys. A 24 (1991) 3967] on shattering fragmentation in such models showing, among others, that there occurs an unexpected mass loss associated with shattering which is not accounted for by the discrete and continuous mass loss, contrary to the conjecture of [Phys. Rev. A 43 (1991) 656, Phys. Rev A 41 (1990) 5755]. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
