We study a version of the Keller-Segel model for bacterial chemotaxis, for which exact travelling wave solutions are explicitly known in the zero attractant diffusion limit. Using geometric singular perturbation theory, we construct travelling wave solutions in the small diffusion case that converge to these exact solutions in the singular limit.

In this paper, we consider the initial Neumann boundary value problem for a degenerate kinetic model of Keller--Segel type. The system features a signal-dependent decreasing motility function that vanishes asymptotically, i.e., degeneracies may take place as the concentration of signals tends to infinity. In the present work, we are interested in the boundedness of classical solutions when the motility function satisfies certain decay rate assumptions. Roughly speaking, in the two-dimensional setting, we prove that classical solution is globally bounded if the motility function decreases slower than an exponential speed at high signal concentrations. In higher dimensions, boundedness is obtained when the motility decreases at certain algebraical speed. The proof is based on the comparison methods developed in our previous work cite{FJ19a,FJ19b} together with a modified Alikakos--Moser type iteration. Besides, new estimations involving certain weighted energies are also constructed to establish the boundedness.
We show that the Keller-Segel model in one dimension with Neumann boundary conditions and quadratic cellular diffusion has an intricate phase transition diagram depending on the chemosensitivity strength. Explicit computations allow us to find a myriad of symmetric and asymmetric stationary states whose stability properties are mostly studied via free energy decreasing numerical schemes. The metastability behavior and staircased free energy decay are also illustrated via these numerical simulations.
This paper is concerned with traveling wave solutions of the following full parabolic Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with logistic source, begin{equation} begin{cases} u_t=Delta u -chi ablacdot(u abla v)+u(a-bu),quad xinmathbb{R}^N cr tau v_t=Delta v-lambda v +mu u,quad xin mathbb{R}^N, end{cases}(1) end{equation} where $chi, mu,lambda,a,$ and $b$ are positive numbers, and $tauge 0$. Among others, it is proved that if $b>2chimu$ and $tau geq frac{1}{2}(1-frac{lambda}{a})_{+} ,$ then for every $cge 2sqrt{a}$, (1) has a traveling wave solution $(u,v)(t,x)=(U^{tau,c}(xcdotxi-ct),V^{tau,c}(xcdotxi-ct))$ ($forall, xiinmathbb{R}^N$) connecting the two constant steady states $(0,0)$ and $(frac{a}{b},frac{mu}{lambda}frac{a}{b})$, and there is no such solutions with speed $c$ less than $2sqrt{a}$, which improves considerably the results established in cite{SaSh3}, and shows that (1) has a minimal wave speed $c_0^*=2sqrt a$, which is independent of the chemotaxis.
Based on some elementary estimates for the space-time derivatives of the heat kernel, we use a bootstrapping approach to establish the optimal decay rates for the $L^q(mathbb{R}^d)$ ($1leq qleqinfty$, $dinmathbb{N}$) norm of the space-time derivatives of solutions to the (modified) Patlak-Keller-Segel equations with initial data in $L^1(mathbb{R}^d)$, which implies the joint space-time analyticity of solutions. When the $L^1(mathbb{R}^d)$ norm of the initial datum is small, the upper bound for the decay estimates is global in time, which yields a lower bound on the growth rate of the radius of space-time analyticity in time. As a byproduct, the space analyticity is obtained for any initial data in $L^1(mathbb{R}^d)$. The decay estimates and space-time analyticity are also established for solutions bounded in both space and time variables. The results can be extended to a more general class of equations, including the Navier-Stokes equations.
In this paper, we consider a Keller-Segel type fluid model, which is a kind of Euler-Poisson system with a self-gravitational force. We show that similar to the parabolic case, there is a critical mass $8pi$ such that if the initial total mass $M$ is supercritical, i.e., $M> 8pi$, then any weak entropy solution with the same mass $M$ must blow up in finite time. The a priori estimates of weak entropy solutions for critical mass $M=8pi$ and subcritical mass $M<8pi$ are also obtained.
