Small inertia regularization of an anisotropic aggregation model

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider an anisotropic first-order ODE aggregation model and its approximation by a second-order relaxation system. The relaxation model contains a small parameter varepsilon, which can be interpreted as inertia or response time. We examine rigorously the limit varepsilono0 of solutions to the relaxation system. Of major interest is how discontinuous (in velocities) solutions to the first-order model are captured in the zero-inertia limit. We find that near such discontinuities, solutions to the second-order model perform fast transitions within a time layer of size mathcalO(varepsilon2/3). We validate this scale with numerical simulations.
