Abstract

This paper proves the existence of solutions for the discrete coagulation–fragmentation equation over all times, even when source and efflux terms are present. The hypotheses required cover most physical applications. Roughly speaking, the hypotheses ensure a finite flux of mass through the system. The techniques used, which extend those in I of this series, may apply to other infinite systems of differential equations.
