Abstract
We deal with a nonlocal interaction equation describing the evolution of a particle density under the effect of a general symmetric pairwise interaction potential, not necessarily in convolution form. We describe the case of a convex (or \lambda-convex) potential, possibly not smooth at several points, generalizing the results of [CDFLS]. We also identify the cases in which the dynamic is still governed by the continuity equation with well-characterized nonlocal velocity field. Reference: [CDFLS] J. A. Carrillo, M. Di Francesco, A.
