Abstract

We prove that, unlike in several space dimensions, there is no critical (nonlinear) diffusion coefficient for which solutions to the one-dimensional quasilinear Smoluchowski-Poisson equation with small mass exist globally while finite time blowup could occur for solutions with large mass.
