Abstract

We summarise the properties and the fundamental mathematical results
associated with basic models which describe
coagulation and fragmentation processes in a deterministic manner
and in which cluster size is a discrete quantity (an integer
multiple of some basic unit size).
In particular, we discuss Smoluchowski's equation for aggregation,
the Becker-Döring model of simultaneous aggregation and fragmentation,
and more general models involving coagulation and fragmentation.
