Regularity and trend to equilibrium for a non-local advection-diffusion model of active particles

Résumé

We establish regularity and, under suitable assumptions, convergence to stationary states for weak solutions of a parabolic equation with a non-linear non-local drift term. This equation was derived from a model of active Brownian particles with repulsive interactions in the previous work \cite{bbesModel}, and incorporates advection-diffusion processes both in particle position and orientation. We apply De Giorgi's method and differentiate the equation with respect to the time variable iteratively to show that weak solutions become smooth away from the initial time. This strategy requires that we obtain improved integrability estimates in order to cater for the presence of the non-local drift. The instantaneous smoothing effect observed for weak solutions is shown to also hold for very weak solutions arising from distributional initial data; the proof of this result relies on a uniqueness theorem in the style of M. Pierre for low-regularity solutions. The convergence to stationary states is proved under a smallness assumption on the drift term.
