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.
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.
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.
In this paper we consider a stochastic Keller-Segel type equation, perturbed with random noise. We establish that for special types of random pertubations (i.e. in a divergence form), the equation has a global weak solution for small initial data. Furthermore, if the noise is not in a divergence form, we show that the solution has a finite time blowup (with nonzero probability) for any nonzero initial data. The results on the continuous dependence of solutions on the small random perturbations, alongside with the existence of local strong solutions, are also derived in this work.
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.
We are concerned with the Keller--Segel--Navier--Stokes system begin{equation*} left{ begin{array}{ll} rho_t+ucdot ablarho=Deltarho- ablacdot(rho mathcal{S}(x,rho,c) abla c)-rho m, &!!

It is shown that the corresponding problem admits a globally classical solution with exponential decay properties under the hypothesis that $mathcal{S}in C^2(overlineOmegatimes [0,infty)^2)^{3times 3}$ satisfies $|mathcal{S}(x,rho,c)|leq C_S $ for some $C_S>0$, and the initial data satisfy certain smallness conditions.
