Blow-up and global existence for a kinetic equation of swarm formation

Blow-up and global existence for a kinetic equation of swarm formation

In this paper we study a kinetic equation that describes swarm formations. The right-hand side of this equation contains nonlinear integro-differential terms responsible for two opposite tendencies: dissipation and swarming. The nonlinear integral operator describes the changes of velocities (orientations) of interacting individuals. The interaction rate is assumed to be …
