We exploit the existence and nonlinear stability of boundary spike/layer solutions of the Keller-Segel system with logarithmic singular sensitivity in the half space, where the physical zero-flux and Dirichlet boundary conditions are prescribed. We first prove that, under above boundary conditions, the Keller-Segel system admits a unique boundary spike-layer steady state where the first solution component (bacterial density) of the system concentrates at the boundary as a Dirac mass and the second solution component (chemical concentration) forms a boundary layer profile near the boundary as the chemical diffusion coefficient tends to zero. Then we show that this boundary spike-layer steady state is asymptotically nonlinearly stable under appropriate perturbations. As far as we know, this is the first result obtained on the global well-posedness of the singular Keller-Segel system with nonlinear consumption rate. We introduce a novel strategy of relegating the singularity, via a Cole-Hopf type transformation, to a nonlinear nonlocality which is resolved by the technique of taking antiderivatives, i.e. working at the level of the distribution function. Then, we carefully choose weight functions to prove our main results by suitable weighted energy estimates with Hardys inequality that fully captures the dissipative structure of the system.

Perhaps the most classical diffusion model for chemotaxis is the Patlak-Keller-Segel system begin{equation} label{ks0} left{ begin{aligned} u_t =& Delta u - abla cdot(u abla v) quad inn R^2times(0,infty), v =& (-Delta_{R^2})^{-1} u := frac 1{2pi} int_{R^2} , log frac 1{|x-z|} u(z,t), dz, & qquad u(cdot ,0) = u_0 ge 0quadhbox{in } R^2. end{aligned} right. end{equation} We consider the {em critical mass case} $int_{R^2} u_0(x), dx = 8pi$ which corresponds to the exact threshold between finite-time blow-up and self-similar diffusion towards zero. We find a radial function $u_0^*$ with mass $8pi$ such that for any initial condition $u_0$ sufficiently close to $u_0^*$ the solution $u(x,t)$ of equ{ks0} is globally defined and blows-up in infinite time. As $tto+infty $ it has the approximate profile $$ u(x,t) approx frac 1{la^2} U_0left (frac {x-xi(t)}{la(t)} right ), quad U_0(y)= frac{8}{(1+|y|^2)^2}, $$ where $la(t) approx frac c{sqrt{log t}}, xi(t)to q $ for some $c>0$ and $qin R^2$
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 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$> 8pi$.
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.
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.
