Stability of constant states and qualitative behavior of solutions to a one dimensional hyperbolic model of chemotaxis (original) (raw)
Related papers
We consider a general model of chemotaxis with finite speed of propagation in one space dimension. For this model we establish a general result of stability of some constant states both for the Cauchy problem on the whole real line and for the Neumann problem on a bounded interval. These results are obtained using the linearized operators and the accurate analysis of their onlinear perturbations. Numerical schemes are proposed to approximate these equations, and the expected qualitative behavior for large times is compared to several numerical tests.
Global existence of smooth solutions to a two-dimensional hyperbolic model of chemotaxis.
CAIM, 1, no. 1 : 92-109 (2010).
We consider a model of chemotaxis with finite speed of propagation based on Cattaneo's law in two space dimensions. For this system we present a global existence theorem for the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem. This result is obtained using estimates of the Green functions of the linearized operators. We illustrate the behavior of solutions by some numerical simulations.
A well-balanced numerical scheme for a one dimensional quasilinear hyperbolic model of chemotaxis
Preprint 11/2012
We introduce a numerical scheme to approximate a quasi-linear hyperbolic system which models the movement of cells under the influence of chemotaxis. Since we expect to find solutions which contain vacuum parts, we propose an upwinding scheme which handles properly the presence of vacuum and, besides, which gives a good approximation of the time asymptotic states of the system. For this scheme we prove some basic analytical properties and study its stability near some of the steady states of the system. Finally, we present some numerical simulations which show the dependence of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions upon the parameters of the system.
The one-dimensional chemotaxis model: global existence and asymptotic profile
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2004
give a proof of global existence for the classical chemotaxis model in one space dimension with use of energy estimates. Here we present an alternative proof which uses the regularity properties of the heat-equation semigroup. With this method we can identify a large selection of admissible spaces, such that the chemotaxis model deÿnes a global semigroup on these spaces.
A survey on well-balanced and asymptotic preserving schemes for hyperbolic models for chemotaxis
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys
Chemotaxis is a biological phenomenon widely studied these last years, at the biological level but also at the mathematical level. Various models have been proposed, from microscopic to macroscopic scales. In this article, we consider in particular two hyperbolic models for the density of organisms, a semi-linear system based on the hyperbolic heat equation (or dissipative waves equation) and a quasi-linear system based on incompressible Euler equation. These models possess relatively stiff solutions and well-balanced and asymptotic-preserving schemes are necessary to approximate them accurately. The aim of this article is to present various techniques of well-balanced and asymptotic-preserving schemes for the two hyperbolic models for chemotaxis.
Asymptotic stability of traveling fronts to a chemotaxis model with nonlinear diffusion
Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems - B, 2021
We are interested in the existence and stability of traveling waves of arbitrary amplitudes to a chemotaxis model with porous medium diffusion. We first make a complete classification of traveling waves under specific relations among the biological parameters. Then we show all these traveling waves are asymptotically stable under appropriate perturbations. The proof is based on a Cole-Hopf transformation and the energy method.
Singular convergence of nonlinear hyperbolic chemotaxis systems to Keller-Segel type models
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B, 2009
In this paper we deal with diffusive relaxation limits of nonlinear systems of Euler type modeling chemotactic movement of cells toward Keller-Segel type systems. The approximating systems are either hyperbolicparabolic or hyperbolic-elliptic. They all feature a nonlinear pressure term arising from a volume filling effect which takes into account the fact that cells do not interpenetrate. The main convergence result relies on compensated compactness tools and is obtained for large initial data under suitable assumptions on the approximating solutions. In order to justify such assumptions, we also prove an existence result for initial data which are small perturbation of a constant state. Such result is proven via classical Friedrichs's symmetrization and linearization. In order to simplify the coverage, we restrict to the two-dimensional case with periodical boundary conditions.
Mathematical analysis and stability of a chemotaxis model with logistic term
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2004
In this paper we study a non-linear system of di erential equations arising in chemotaxis. The system consists of a PDE that describes the evolution of a population and an ODE which models the concentration of a chemical substance. We study the number of steady states under suitable assumptions, the existence of one global solution to the evolution problem in terms of weak solutions and the stability of the steady states.
Global smooth solutions for a hyperbolic chemotaxis model on a network
2014
In this paper we study a semilinear hyperbolic-parabolic system modeling biological phenomena evolving on a network composed by oriented arcs. We prove the existence of global (in time) smooth solutions to this problem. The result is obtained by using energy estimates with suitable transmission conditions at nodes.
A hyperbolic model of chemotaxis on a network: a numerical study
In this paper we deal with a semilinear hyperbolic chemotaxis model in one space dimension evolving on a network, with suitable transmission conditions at nodes. This framework is motivated by tissue-engineering scaffolds used for improving wound healing. We introduce a numerical scheme, which guarantees global mass densities conservation. Moreover our scheme is able to yield a correct approximation of the effects of the source term at equilibrium. Several numerical tests are presented to show the behavior of solutions and to discuss the stability and the accuracy of our approximation.
