Global solutions for a supercritical drift-diffusion equation

We study the global existence of solutions to a one-dimensional drift-diffusion equation with logistic term, generalizing the classical parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel aggregation equation arising in mathematical biology. In particular, we prove that there exists a global weak solution, if the order...

Sumario:We study the global existence of solutions to a one-dimensional drift-diffusion equation with logistic term, generalizing the classical parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel aggregation equation arising in mathematical biology. In particular, we prove that there exists a global weak solution, if the order of the fractional diffusion α∈(1-c1, 2], where c1>0 is an explicit constant depending on the physical parameters present in the problem (chemosensitivity and strength of logistic damping). Furthermore, in the range 1-c2<α≤2 with 0<c2<c1, the solution is globally smooth. Let us emphasize that when α<1, the diffusion is in the supercritical regime.
