This equation represents the generalization to $m > 1$ of the McKean-Vlasov equation where here the \"diffusive\" portion of the dynamics are governed by Porous medium self-interactions. We focus primarily on $m\\in(1,2]$ with particular emphasis on $m = 2$. In general, we establish regularity properties and, for small interaction, exponential decay to the uniform stationary solution. For $m=2$, we obtain essentially sharp results on the rate of decay for the entire regime up to the (sharp) transitional value of the interaction parameter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-17T23:12:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "degenerate diffusion", "qualitative property", "nonlocal aggregation equation", "uniform stationary solution", "equation represents" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.3938C" } } }
