Abstract

Radially symmetric solutions of a nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation describing the evolution of self-attracting particles in a bounded container are studied. Conditions ensuring either global-in-time existence of solutions or their finite time blow up are given.

Keywords

radial solutions, global and blowing up solutions, nonlinear parabolic equation
