As a counterpoint to classical stochastic particle methods for diffusion, we develop a
deterministic particle method for linear and nonlinear diffusion. At first glance, deterministic …

Nonparametric inference of interaction laws in systems of agents from trajectory data

F Lu, M Zhong, S Tang… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Inferring the laws of interaction in agent-based systems from observational data is a
fundamental challenge in a wide variety of disciplines. We propose a nonparametric …

Beginner's guide to aggregation-diffusion equations

D Gómez-Castro - SeMA Journal, 2024 - Springer
The aim of this survey is to serve as an introduction to the different techniques available in
the broad field of aggregation-diffusion equations. We aim to provide historical context, key …

Regularity of local minimizers of the interaction energy via obstacle problems

JA Carrillo, MG Delgadino, A Mellet - Communications in Mathematical …, 2016 - Springer
The repulsion strength at the origin for repulsive/attractive potentials determines the
regularity of local minimizers of the interaction energy. In this paper, we show that if this …

Existence of compactly supported global minimisers for the interaction energy

JA Cañizo, JA Carrillo, FS Patacchini - Archive for Rational Mechanics and …, 2015 - Springer
The existence of compactly supported global minimisers for continuum models of particles
interacting through a potential is shown under almost optimal hypotheses. The main …

From radial symmetry to fractal behavior of aggregation equilibria for repulsive–attractive potentials

JA Carrillo, R Shu - Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential …, 2023 - Springer
For the interaction energy with repulsive–attractive potentials, we give generic conditions
which guarantee the radial symmetry of the local minimizers in the infinite Wasserstein …

[HTML][HTML] On minimizers of interaction functionals with competing attractive and repulsive potentials

R Choksi, RC Fetecau, I Topaloglu - Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré C …, 2015 - Elsevier
We consider a family of interaction functionals consisting of power-law potentials with
attractive and repulsive parts and use the concentration compactness principle to establish …

Geometry of minimizers for the interaction energy with mildly repulsive potentials

JA Carrillo, A Figalli, FS Patacchini - Annales de l'IHP Analyse non …, 2017 - numdam.org
We show that the support of any local minimizer of the interaction energy consists of isolated
points whenever the interaction potential is of class C2 and mildly repulsive at the origin; …

Nonlocal shape optimization via interactions of attractive and repulsive potentials

A Burchard, R Choksi, I Topaloglu - Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 2018 - JSTOR
