This article is dedicated to analyze a finite volume scheme for solving coagulation and multiple fragmentation equation. The rates of coagulation and fragmentation are chosen locally bounded and unbounded (singularity near the origin), respectively. It is shown that using weak L 1 compactness method, the numerically approximated solution tends to the weak solution of the continuous problem under a stability condition on the time step for non-uniform mesh. Further, considering a uniform mesh, first order error approximation is demonstrated when kernels are in W 1,∞ loc space. The accuracy of the scheme is also authenticated numerically for several test problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
