Abstract:

Existence of global solutions to continuous nonlocal convection-fragmentation equations is investigated in spaces of distributions with finite higher moments. Under the assumption that the velocity field is divergence-free, we make use of the method of characteristics and Friedrichs's lemma (Mizohata, 1973) to show that the transport operator generates a stochastic dynamical system. This allows for the use of substochastic methods and Kato-Voigt perturbation theorem (Banasiak and Arlotti, 2006) to ensure that the combined transport-fragmentation operator is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup. In particular, we show that the solution represented by this semigroup is conservative.
