The food seeking behavior of slime mold: a macroscopic approach

Starting from a particle model we derive a macroscopic aggregation-diffusion equation for the evolution of slime mold under the assumption of propagation of chaos in the large particle limit. We analyze properties of the macroscopic model in the stationary case and study the behavior of the slime mo...
