Abstract

New model equations are derived for dynamics of self-aggregation of finite-size particles. Differences from standard Debye-Huckel and Keller-Segel models are: the mobility of particles depends on the configuration of their neighbors and linear diffusion acts on locally-averaged particle density. The evolution of collapsed states in these models reduces exactly to finite-dimensional dynamics of interacting particle clumps. Simulations show these collapsed (clumped) states emerge from smooth initial conditions, even in one spatial dimension.
