Global solutions to a chemotaxis system with non-diffusive memory

In this article, an existence theorem of global solutions with small initial data belonging to L¹∩L^p$L^1\cap L^p$, (n<p?∞)$(n<p?\infty )$ for a chemotaxis system is given on the whole space Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, n?3$n?3$. In the case p=∞$p=\infty$, our global solution is integrable with respect to the space variable on some time interval, and then conserves the mass for a short time, at least. The system consists of a chemotaxis equation with a logarithmic term and an ordinary equation without diffusion term.     

Blow-up and decay criteria for a model of chemotaxis

For a system of equations introduced by Jäger and Luckhaus (1992) [6] as a model of chemotaxis, the questions of blow-up and global existence criteria are investigated. Specifically, for a convex region, a lower bound for the blow-up time is derived if the solution blows up, and explicit criteria to ensure non-blow-up are determined.     

Global existence in a two-dimensional chemotaxis-consumption model with weakly singular sensitivity

In this paper we study a two-dimensional chemotaxis-consumption system with singular sensitivity and endowed with Neumann boundary conditions. Sufficient conditions on the data of the problem are given so that the globability of classical solutions is shown, thus excluding any finite-time blow-up scenario.

Traveling wave solutions in a diffusive system with two preys and one predator

This paper is concerned with the traveling wave solutions in a diffusive system with two preys and one predator. By constructing upper and lower solutions, the existence of nontrivial traveling wave solutions is established. The asymptotic behavior of traveling wave solutions is also confirmed by combining the asymptotic spreading with the contracting rectangles. Applying the theory of asymptotic spreading, the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is proved.     

Critical mass phenomenon for a chemotaxis kinetic model with spherically symmetric initial data

The goal of this paper is to exhibit a critical mass phenomenon occurring in a model for cell self-organization via chemotaxis. The very well-known dichotomy arising in the behavior of the macroscopic Keller–Segel system is derived at the kinetic level, being closer to microscopic features. Indeed, under the assumption of spherical symmetry, we prove that solutions with initial data of large mass blow-up in finite time, whereas solutions with initial data of small mass do not. Blow-up is the consequence of a momentum computation and the existence part is derived from a comparison argument. Spherical symmetry is crucial within the two approaches. We also briefly investigate the drift-diffusion limit of such a kinetic model. We recover partially at the limit the Keller–Segel criterion for blow-up, thus arguing in favour of a global link between the two models.     

Global existence of weak solutions to a diffuse interface model for magnetic fluids

This article is devoted to the derivation and analysis of a system of partial differential equations modeling a diffuse interface flow of two Newtonian incompressible magnetic fluids. The system consists of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations coupled with an evolutionary equation for the magnetization vector and the Cahn–Hilliard equations. We show global in time existence of weak solutions to the system using the time discretization method.
