We study the global existence of solutions to a one-dimensional drift-diffusion equation with logistic term, generalizing the classical parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel aggregation equation arising in mathematical biology. In particular, we prove that there exists a global weak solution, if the order of the fractional diffusion $\alpha \in (1-c_1, 2]$, where $c_1>0$ is an explicit constant depending on the physical parameters present in the problem (chemosensitivity and strength of logistic damping). Furthermore, in the range $1-c_2<\alpha\leq 2$ with $0

We study a doubly parabolic Keller-Segel system in one spatial dimension, with diffusions given by fractional laplacians. We obtain several local and global well-posedness results for the subcritical and critical cases (for the latter we need certain smallness assumptions). We also study dynamical properties of the system with added logistic term. Then, this model exhibits a spatio-temporal chaotic behavior, where a number of peaks emerge. In particular, we prove the existence of an attractor and provide an upper bound on the number of peaks that the solution may develop. Finally, we perform a numerical analysis suggesting that there is a finite time blow up if the diffusion is weak enough, even in presence of a damping logistic term. Our results generalize on one hand the results for local diffusions, on the other the results for the parabolic-elliptic fractional case.

In this paper we study the generalized Buckley-Leverett equation with nonlocal regularizing terms. One of these regularizing terms is diffusive, while the other one is conservative. We prove that if the regularizing terms have order higher than one (combined), there exists a global strong solution for arbitrarily large initial data. In the case where the regularizing terms have combined order one, we prove the global existence of solution under some size restriction for the initial data. Moreover, in the case where the conservative regularizing term vanishes, regardless of the order of the diffusion and under certain hypothesis on the initial data, we also prove the global existence of strong solution and we obtain some new entropy balances. Finally, we provide numerics suggesting that, if the order of the diffusion is $0< \alpha<1$, a finite time blow up of the solution is possible.
