contents We consider a nonlocal aggregation diffusion equation incorporating repulsion modelled by nonlinear diffusion and attraction modelled by nonlocal interaction. When the attractive interaction kernel is radially symmetric and strictly increasing on its domain it is previously known that all stationary solutions are radially symmetric and decreasing up to a translation; however, this result has not been extended to accommodate attractive kernels that are non-decreasing, for instance, attractive kernels with bounded support. For the diffusion coefficient $m>1$, we show that, for attractive kernels that are radially symmetric and non-decreasing, all stationary states are radially symmetric and decreasing up to a translation on each connected subset of their support. Furthermore, for $m>2$, we prove analytically that stationary states have an upper-bound independent of the initial data, confirming previous numerical results given in the literature.
