Description
Summary:<p>The stochastic model for the description of the so-called fragmentation process in frameworks of Kolmogorov approach is proposed. This model is represented as the branching process with continuum set <mml:math> <mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>&#x221E;</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo></mml:mrow> </mml:math> of particle types. Each type <mml:math> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi><mml:mo>&#x2208;</mml:mo><mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>&#x221E;</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo></mml:mrow> </mml:math> corresponds to the set of fragments having the size <mml:math> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi> </mml:math>. It is proved that the branching condition of this process represents the basic equation of the Kolmogorov theory.</p>
