Chemotaxis can prevent thresholds on population density

Abstract

We define and (for q>nq>n) prove uniqueness and an extensibility property of W1,qW^{1,q}-solutions to ut=(uv)+κuμu2u_t =-\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)+\kappa u-\mu u^2 0=Δvv+u 0 =\Delta v-v+u νvΩ=νuΩ=0,\partial_\nu v|_{\partial\Omega} = \partial_\nu u|_{\partial\Omega}=0, u(0,)=u0 u(0,\cdot)=u_0 in balls in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, which we then use to obtain a criterion guaranteeing some kind of structure formation in a corresponding chemotaxis system - thereby extending recent results of Winkler to the higher dimensional (radially symmetric) case. Keywords: chemotaxis, logistic source, blow-up, hyperbolic-elliptic system

Comments

25 pages; removed Sec. 3.2 of version 1 due to an error in the proof. Cor. 10 (formerly Cor. 11) now relies on results from [20] instead; main results and arguments remain unchanged
