Abstract

This paper develops the basic analytical theory related to some recently intro-duced crowd dynamics models. Where well posedness was known only locally in time, it is here extended to all of R+ . The results on the stability with respect to the equations are improved. Moreover, here the case of several populations is considered, obtaining the well posedness of systems of multi-D non-local conservation laws. The basic analytical tools are provided by the classical Kruˇzkov theory of scalar conservation laws in several space dimensions.
