In particular, we study the well-posedness of the equation, establish some qualitative properties of the solution and give conditions ensuring the global existence of both weak and strong solutions. Finally, we present a link between the equation obtained by Steinerberger and a one-dimensional model of the surface quasi-geostrophic equation used by Chae, C\\'ordoba, C\\'ordoba and Fontelos.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-30T22:47:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonlocal differential equation", "differentiation", "nonlocal transport equation", "surface quasi-geostrophic equation", "polynomial behaves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
