Dissipativity and Gevrey regularity of a Smoluchowski equation Peter ConstantinEdriss TitiJesenko Vukadinovic 35K70KSmoluchowski equationsdissipativityMaier-Saupe potentialnonlinear Fokker-Planck equations We investigate a Smoluchowski equation (a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation on the unit sphere), which arises in modeling of colloidal suspensions. We prove the dissipativity of the equation in 2D and 3D, in certain Gevrey classes of analytic functions.
