Equilibrium for fragmentation with immigration
  This paper introduces stochastic processes that describe the evolution of systems of particles in which particles immigrate according to a Poisson measure and split according to a self-similar fragmentation. Criteria for existence and absence of stationary distributions are established and uniqueness is proved. Also, convergence rates to the stationary distribution are given. Linear equations which are the deterministic counterparts of fragmentation with immigration processes are next considered. As in the stochastic case, existence and uniqueness of solutions, as well as existence and uniqueness of stationary solutions, are investigated.
