BV solutions for a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel

Abstract

We consider a hydrodynamic model of flocking-type with all-to-all interaction kernel in one-space dimension and establish global existence of entropy weak solutions with concentration to the Cauchy problem for any [Formula: see text] initial data that has finite total mass confined in a bounded interval and initial density uniformly positive therein. In addition, under a suitable condition on the initial data, we show that entropy weak solutions with concentration admit time-asymptotic flocking.
