Global solutions for a supercritical drift-diffusion equation

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 $1-c_2<\alpha \le 2$ with $0<c_2<c_1$, the solution is globally smooth. Let us emphasize that when $\alpha <1$, the diffusion is in the supercritical regime.
