Abstract

We calculate the scaling behavior of the second-kind self-similar blow-up solution of an aggregation equation in odd dimensions. This solution describes the radially symmetric finite-time blowup phenomena and has been observed in numerical simulations of the dynamic problem. The nonlocal equation for the self-similar profile is transformed into a system of ODEs that is solved using a shooting method. The anomalous exponents are then retrieved from this transformed system.
