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 consider a generalised Keller-Segel model with non-linear porous medium type diffusion and non-local attractive power law interaction, focusing on potentials that are more singular than Newtonian interaction. We show uniqueness of stationary states (if they exist) in any dimension both in the diffusion-dominated regime and in the fair-competition regime when attraction and repulsion are in balance. As stationary states are radially symmetric decreasing, the question of uniqueness reduces to the radial setting. Our key result is a sharp generalised Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type functional inequality in the radial setting.
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 study the regularity and large-time behavior of a crowd of species driven by chemo-tactic interactions. What distinguishes the different species is the way they interact with the rest of the crowd: the collective motion is driven by different chemical reactions which end up in a coupled system of parabolic Patlak-Keller-Segel equations. We show that the densities of the different species diffuse to zero provided the chemical interactions between the different species satisfy certain sub-critical condition; the latter is intimately related to a log-Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for systems due to Shafrir & Wolansky. Thus for example, when two species interact, one of which has mass less than $4pi$, then the 2-system stays smooth for all time independent of the total mass of the system, in sharp contrast with the well-known breakdown of one specie with initial mass$> 8pi$.
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 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.
