We study the chemotaxis model $partial$ t u = div($ abla$u -- u$ abla$w) + $theta$v -- u in (0, $infty$) x $Omega$, $partial$ t v = u -- $theta$v in (0, $infty$) x $Omega$, $partial$ t w = D$Delta$w -- $alpha$w + v in (0, $infty$) x $Omega$, with no-flux boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain $Omega$ $subset$ R 2 , where u and v represent the densities of subpopulations of moving and static individuals of some species, respectively, and w the concentration of a chemoattractant. We prove that, in an appropriate functional setting, all solutions exist globally in time. Moreover, we establish the existence of a critical mass M c > 0 of the whole population u + v such that, for M $in$ (0, M c), any solution is bounded, while, for almost all M > M c , there exist solutions blowing up in infinite time. The building block of the analysis is the construction of a Liapunov functional. As far as we know, this is the first result of this kind when the mass conservation includes the two subpopulations and not only the moving one.
We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation [ u_t = i Delta u + | u |^alpha u quad mbox{on ${mathbb R}^N $, $alpha>0$,} ] for $H^1$-subcritical or critical nonlinearities: $(N-2) alpha le 4$. Under the additional technical assumptions $alphageq 2$ (and thus $Nleq 4$), we construct $H^1$ solutions that blow up in finite time with explicit blow-up profiles and blow-up rates. In particular, blowup can occur at any given finite set of points of ${mathbb R}^N$. The construction involves explicit functions $U$, solutions of the ordinary differential equation $U_t=|U|^alpha U$. In the simplest case, $U(t,x)=(|x|^k-alpha t)^{-frac 1alpha}$ for $t<0$, $xin {mathbb R}^N$. For $k$ sufficiently large, $U$ satisfies $|Delta U|ll U_t$ close to the blow-up point $(t,x)=(0,0)$, so that it is a suitable approximate solution of the problem. To construct an actual solution $u$ close to $U$, we use energy estimates and a compactness argument.
We consider reaction-diffusion equations either posed on Riemannian manifolds or in the Euclidean weighted setting, with pow-er-type nonlinearity and slow diffusion of porous medium time. We consider the particularly delicate case $p<m$ in problem (1.1), a case largely left open in [21] even when the initial datum is smooth and compactly supported. We prove global existence for L$^m$ data, and a smoothing effect for the evolution, i.e. that solutions corresponding to such data are bounded at all positive times with a quantitative bound on their L$^infty$ norm. As a consequence of this fact and of a result of [21], it follows that on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds with curvature pinched between two strictly negative constants, solutions corresponding to sufficiently large L$^m$ data give rise to solutions that blow up pointwise everywhere in infinite time, a fact that has no Euclidean analogue. The methods of proof of the smoothing effect are functional analytic in character, as they depend solely on the validity of the Sobolev inequality and on the fact that the L$^2$ spectrum of $Delta$ on $M$ is bounded away from zero (namely on the validity of a Poincar{e} inequality on $M$). As such, they are applicable to different situations, among which we single out the case of (mass) weighted reaction-diffusion equation in the Euclidean setting. In this latter setting, a modification of the methods of [37] allows to deal also, with stronger results for large times, with the case of globally integrable weights.
In this paper, we study the time periodic problem to a three-dimensional chemotaxis-Stokes model with porous medium diffusion $Delta n^m$ and inhomogeneous mixed boundary conditions. By using a double-level approximation method and some iterative techniques, we obtain the existence and time-space uniform boundedness of weak time periodic solutions for any $m>1$. Moreover, we improve the regularity for $mlefrac{4}{3}$ and show that the obtained periodic solutions are in fact strong periodic solutions.
This paper addresses the existence and regularity of weak solutions for a fully parabolic model of chemotaxis, with prevention of overcrowding, that degenerates in a two-sided fashion, including an extra nonlinearity represented by a $p$-Laplacian diffusion term. To prove the existence of weak solutions, a Schauder fixed-point argument is applied to a regularized problem and the compactness method is used to pass to the limit. The local Holder regularity of weak solutions is established using the method of intrinsic scaling. The results are a contribution to showing, qualitatively, to what extent the properties of the classical Keller-Segel chemotaxis models are preserved in a more general setting. Some numerical examples illustrate the model.
This paper studies the following system of differential equations modeling tumor angiogenesis in a bounded smooth domain $Omega subset mathbb{R}^N$ ($N=1,2$): $$label{0} left{begin{array}{ll} p_t=Delta p- ablacdotp p(displaystylefrac alpha {1+c} abla c+rho abla w)+lambda p(1-p),,& xin Omega, t>0, c_t=Delta c-c-mu pc,, &xin Omega, t>0, w_t= gamma p(1-w),,& xin Omega, t>0, end{array}right. $$ where $alpha, rho, lambda, mu$ and $gamma$ are positive parameters. For any reasonably regular initial data $(p_0, c_0, w_0)$, we prove the global boundedness ($L^infty$-norm) of $p$ via an iterative method. Furthermore, we investigate the long-time behavior of solutions to the above system under an additional mild condition, and improve previously known results. In particular, in the one-dimensional case, we show that the solution $(p,c,w)$ converges to $(1,0,1)$ with an explicit exponential rate as time tends to infinity.
