contents This paper investigates the diffusion limit of a kinetic BGK-type equation, focusing on its relaxation to a nonlinear aggregation-diffusion equation, where the diffusion exhibits a porous-medium-type nonlinearity. Unlike previous studies by Dolbeault et al. [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 186, (2007), 133-158] and Addala and Tayeb [J. Hyperbolic Differ. Equ., 16, (2019), 131-156], which required bounded initial data, our work considers initial data that need not be bounded. We develop new techniques for handling weak entropy solutions that satisfy the natural bounds associated with the kinetic entropy inequality. Our proof employs the relative entropy method and various compactness arguments to establish the convergence and properties of these solutions.
