Abstract In this work we present the convergence of a positivity preserving semi-discrete finite volume scheme for a coupled system of two non-local partial differential equations with cross-diffusion. The key to proving the convergence result is to establish positivity in order to obtain a discrete energy estimate to obtain compactness. We numerically observe the convergence to reference solutions with a first order accuracy in space. Moreover we recover segregated stationary states in spite of the regularising effect of the self-diffusion. However, if the self-diffusion or the cross-diffusion is strong enough, mixing occurs while both densities remain continuous.

such that the total mass of each species is conserved with respect to time t ≥ 0. While the self-interaction potentials W11 , W22 ∈ Cb2 (R) model the interactions among individuals of the same species (also referred to as intraspecific interactions), the crossinteraction potentials W12 , W21 ∈ Cb2 (R) encode the interactions between individuals belonging to different species, i.e. interspecific interactions. Here Cb2 (R) denotes the set of twice continuously differentiable functions on R with bounded derivatives. Notice that the convolutions Wi j ψ, with ψ a density function defined on [a, b], are defined by extending the density ψ by zero outside the interval [a, b]. The two positive parameters , ν > 0 determine the strengths of the self-diffusion and the cross-diffusion of both species, respectively. Nonlinear diffusion, be it self
