Abstract

We consider the equation $u_t = \mbox{Div}(a[u]\nabla u - u\nabla a[u])$, $-\Delta a = u$. This model has attracted some attention in the recents years and several results are available in the literature. We review recent results on existence and smoothness of solutions and explain the open problems.
