Boundary concentration phenomena for the higher-dimensional Keller-Segel system

Analysis of PDEs 2016-03-22 v1

Abstract

We study the existence of steady states to the Keller-Segel system with linear chemotactical sensitivity function on a smooth bounded domain in RN,\mathbb R^N, N3,N\ge3, having rotational symmetry. We find three different types of chemoattractant concentration which concentrate along suitable (N2)(N-2)-dimensional minimal submanifolds of the boundary. The corresponding density of the cellular slime molds exhibit in the limit one or more Dirac measures supported on those boundary submanifolds.
