Finite-time blow-up in a two-species chemotaxis-competition model with single production

Masaaki Mizukami, Yuya Tanaka (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

This paper is concerned with blow-up of solutions to a two-species chemotaxis-competition model with production from only one species. In previous papers there are a lot of studies on boundedness for a two-species chemotaxis-competition model with productions from both two species. On the other hand, finite-time blow-up was recently obtained under smallness conditions for competitive effects. Now, in the biological view, the production term seems to promote blow-up phenomena; this implies that the...

Homogenization of a carcinogenesis model with different scalings with the homogenization parameter

Isabell Graf, Malte A. Peter (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

In the context of periodic homogenization based on two-scale convergence, we homogenize a linear system of four coupled reaction-diffusion equations, two of which are defined on a manifold. The system describes the most important subprocesses modeling the carcinogenesis of a human cell caused by Benzo-[a]-pyrene molecules. These molecules are activated to carcinogens in a series of chemical reactions at the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum, which constitutes a fine structure inside the cell....

Influence of diffusion on interactions between malignant gliomas and immune system

Urszula Foryś (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We analyse the influence of diffusion and space distribution of cells in a simple model of interactions between an activated immune system and malignant gliomas, among which the most aggressive one is GBM Glioblastoma Multiforme. It turns out that diffusion cannot affect stability of spatially homogeneous steady states. This suggests that there are two possible outcomes-the solution is either attracted by the positive steady state or by the semitrivial one. The semitrivial steady state describes...

Instability of Turing type for a reaction-diffusion system with unilateral obstacles modeled by variational inequalities

Martin Väth (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider a reaction-diffusion system of activator-inhibitor type which is subject to Turing's diffusion-driven instability. It is shown that unilateral obstacles of various type for the inhibitor, modeled by variational inequalities, lead to instability of the trivial solution in a parameter domain where it would be stable otherwise. The result is based on a previous joint work with I.-S. Kim, but a refinement of the underlying theoretical tool is developed. Moreover, a different regime of parameters...

Long time behaviour of a Cahn-Hilliard system coupled with viscoelasticity

Irena Pawłow, Wojciech M. Zajączkowski (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The long-time behaviour of a unique regular solution to the Cahn-Hilliard system coupled with viscoelasticity is studied. The system arises as a model of the phase separation process in a binary deformable alloy. It is proved that for a sufficiently regular initial data the trajectory of the solution converges to the ω-limit set of these data. Moreover, it is shown that every element of the ω-limit set is a solution of the corresponding stationary problem.

Mathematical models of tumor growth systems

Takashi Suzuki (2012)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study a class of parabolic-ODE systems modeling tumor growth, its mathematical modeling and the global in time existence of the solution obtained by the method of Lyapunov functions.

On a Caginalp phase-field system with a logarithmic nonlinearity

Charbel Wehbe (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a phase field system based on the Maxwell Cattaneo heat conduction law, with a logarithmic nonlinearity, associated with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In particular, we prove, in one and two space dimensions, the existence of a solution which is strictly separated from the singularities of the nonlinear term and that the problem possesses a finite-dimensional global attractor in terms of exponential attractors.

Phase field model for mode III crack growth in two dimensional elasticity

Takeshi Takaishi, Masato Kimura (2009)

Kybernetika

A phase field model for anti-plane shear crack growth in two dimensional isotropic elastic material is proposed. We introduce a phase field to represent the shape of the crack with a regularization parameter ϵ > 0 and we approximate the Francfort–Marigo type energy using the idea of Ambrosio and Tortorelli. The phase field model is derived as a gradient flow of this regularized energy. We show several numerical examples of the crack growth computed with an adaptive mesh finite element method.

Regularity and uniqueness in quasilinear parabolic systems

Pavel Krejčí, Lucia Panizzi (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Inspired by a problem in steel metallurgy, we prove the existence, regularity, uniqueness, and continuous data dependence of solutions to a coupled parabolic system in a smooth bounded 3D domain, with nonlinear and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The nonlinear coupling takes place in the diffusion coefficient. The proofs are based on anisotropic estimates in tangential and normal directions, and on a refined variant of the Gronwall lemma.

Self-similar solutions for the two-dimensional Nernst-Planck-Debye system

Łukasz Paszkowski (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We investigate the two-component Nernst-Planck-Debye system by a numerical study of self-similar solutions using the Runge-Kutta method of order four and comparing the results obtained with the solutions of a one-component system. Properties of the solutions indicated by numerical simulations are proved and an existence result is established based on comparison arguments for singular ordinary differential equations.

Semi-analytical approach to initial problems for systems of nonlinear partial differential equations with constant delay

Šamajová, Helena (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

This paper deals with the differential transform method for solving of an initial value problem for a system of two nonlinear functional partial differential equations of parabolic type. We consider non-delayed as well as delayed types of coupling and the different variety of initial functions are thought over. The convergence of solutions and the error estimation to the presented procedure is studied. Two numerical examples for non-delayed and delayed systems are included.
