Analytic and numerical analysis of some statistical features of fragmentation processes

In this work, we investigate the following inhomogeneous model of fragmentation with an exponential splitting probability: suppose that an initial particle having a mass x0>0 (large enough) is broken, with a size-dependent probability p(x0)≔1−e−x0, into b>1 pieces. With probability 1−p(x0), this fragment is left unchanged for ever. The process of fragmentation is repeated recursively for all pieces.
