In this paper, we will consider blowup solutions to the so called Keller-Segel system and its simplified form. The Keller-Segel system was introduced to describe how cellular slime molds aggregate, owing to the motion of the cells toward a higher concentration of a chemical substance produced by themselves. We will describe a common conjecture in connection with blowup solutions to the Keller-Segel system, and some results for solutions to simplified versions of the Keller-Segel system, giving the...

A class of nonlinear viscous transport equations describing aggregation phenomena in biology is considered. General conditions on an interaction potential are obtained which lead either to the existence or to the nonexistence of global-in-time solutions.

This paper is concerned with the two-species chemotaxis-Navier–Stokes system with Lotka–Volterra competitive kinetics $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill \left\{\begin{array}{cc}{\left(1\right)}_t+u·1=𝔻1-{\chi }_1·\left(1c\right)+{\mu }_{1}1(1-1-a_{1}2)\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\left(2\right)}_t+u·2=𝔻2-{\chi }_2·\left(2c\right)+{\mu }_{2}2(1-a_{2}1-2)\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ c_t+u·c=𝔻c-(\alpha 1+\beta 2)c\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ u_t+(u·)u=𝔻u+\nabla P+(\gamma 1+2)\Phi ,·u=0\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty )\hfill \end{array}\right.\end{array}$$ under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and initial conditions, where is a bounded domain in R3 with smooth boundary. Recently, in the 2-dimensional setting, global existence and stabilization of classical solutions to the above system were first established. However, the 3-dimensional case has not been studied: Because of difficulties in the Navier–Stokes system, we can...

We study a quasilinear parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis system with nonlinear logistic source, under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain. By establishing proper a priori estimates we prove that, with both the diffusion function and the chemotaxis sensitivity function being positive, the corresponding initial boundary value problem admits a unique global classical solution which is uniformly bounded. The result of this paper is a generalization of that of Cao (2014).

This paper deals with parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis systems with the sensitivity function $\chi \left(v\right)$ and the growth term $f\left(u\right)$ under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain. Here it is assumed that $0<\chi \left(v\right)\le {\chi }_0/v^k$$(k\ge 1...$
