The aggregation equation with Newtonian potential

Abstract

The viscous and inviscid aggregation equation with Newtonian potential models a number of different physical systems, and has close analogs in 2D incompressible fluid mechanics. We consider a slight generalization of these equations in the whole space, establishing well-posedness and spatial decay of the viscous equations, and obtaining the convergence of viscous solutions to the inviscid solution as the viscosity goes to zero.
