Abstract
We consider a non-local scalar conservation law in two space dimensions which arises as the formal hydrodynamic limit of a Fokker–Planck equation. This Fokker–Planck equation is, in turn, the kinetic description of an individual-based model describing the navigation of self-propelled particles in a pheromone landscape. The pheromone may be linked to the agent distribution itself, leading to a nonlinear, non-local scalar conservation law where the effective velocity vector depends on the pheromone field in a small region around each point, and thus, on the solution itself. After presenting and motivating the problem, we present some numerical simulations of a closely related problem, and then prove a well-posedness and stability result for the conservation law.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes original research papers on nonlinear hyperbolic problems and related topics, of mathematical and/or physical interest. Specifically, it invites papers on the theory and numerical analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws and of hyperbolic partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics. The Journal welcomes contributions in:
Theory of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, addressing the issues of well-posedness and qualitative behavior of solutions, in one or several space dimensions.
Hyperbolic differential equations of mathematical physics, such as the Einstein equations of general relativity, Dirac equations, Maxwell equations, relativistic fluid models, etc.
Lorentzian geometry, particularly global geometric and causal theoretic aspects of spacetimes satisfying the Einstein equations.
Nonlinear hyperbolic systems arising in continuum physics such as: hyperbolic models of fluid dynamics, mixed models of transonic flows, etc.
General problems that are dominated (but not exclusively driven) by finite speed phenomena, such as dissipative and dispersive perturbations of hyperbolic systems, and models from statistical mechanics and other probabilistic models relevant to the derivation of fluid dynamical equations.
Convergence analysis of numerical methods for hyperbolic equations: finite difference schemes, finite volumes schemes, etc.
