Stable distributions in fragmentation processes

We introduce three models of fragmentation in which the largest fragment in the system can be broken at each time step with a fixed probability, p. We solve these models exactly in the long time limit to reveal stable time-invariant (scaling) solutions which depend on p and the precise details on the fragmentation process. Various features of these models are compared with those of conventional fragmentation models.
