On a non-local transport equation with competing attraction and Newtonian repulsion

We study the aggregation equation $\rho_t + \nabla \cdot (\rho (-\nabla K \ast \rho)) = 0$ in $\Real^n$, a first-order nonlinear and non-local transport equation used to model swarming behaviour. The radial interaction potential is chosen $K$ to model both short-range repulsion and long-range attrac...
