In this paper we provide a well-posedness theory for weak measure solutions of the Cauchy problem family nonlocal interaction equations. These equations are continuum models interacting particle systems with attractive/repulsive pairwise potentials. The main phenomenon interest is that, even smooth initial data, can concentrate mass in finite time. We develop an existence that enables one to go beyond blow-up time classical norms and allows form atomic parts shown be unique exist globally...

This paper presents a systematic existence and uniqueness theory of weak measure solutions for systems non-local interaction PDEs with two species, which are the PDE counterpart deterministic interacting particles species. The main motivations behind those models arise in cell biology, pedestrian movements, opinion formation. In case symmetrizable (i.e. cross-interaction potentials one multiple other), we provide complete within (a suitable generalization of) Wasserstein gradient flow...

The aim of this paper is to establish rigorous results on thelarge time behavior nonlocal models for aggregation, includingthe possible presence nonlinear diffusion terms modeling localrepulsions.

In addition, we provide a comparison aggregationkernels with infinite respectively...

We prove the equivalence between notion of Wasserstein gradient flow for a one-dimensional nonlocal transport PDE with attractive/repulsive Newtonian potential on one side, and entropy solution Burgers-type scalar conservation law other. The former is obtained by spatially differentiating latter. proof uses an intermediate step, namely L2 pseudo-inverse distribution function solution. use this to provide rigorous particle-system approximation flow, avoiding regularization effect due...

Macroscopic models for systems involving diffusion, short-range repulsion, and long-range attraction have been studied extensively in the last decades. In this paper we extend analysis to a system two species interacting with each other according different inner- intra-species attractions. Under suitable conditions on self- crosswise an interesting effect can be observed, namely phase separation into neighboring regions, of which contains only one species. We prove that intersection support...
