Analysis of PDEs 2026-03-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we concentrate on investigating the self-similar singular solutions of Keller-Segel model with signal consumption (uvα-uv^{\alpha}) and singular sensitivity. We perform a detailed exploration into the existence and decay rate of self-similar solutions, particularly, the permissibility of arbitrary mass for these solutions across all possible cases. Based on these findings, we can delve deeper into verifying that these self-similar solutions (u,v)(u, v) exhibit varying degrees of singularity depending on the value of α\alpha and the spatial dimension. Our analysis reveals that the component uu (with arbitrary mass) of the solution consistently behaves analogous to heat kernel, that is, uu exhibiting a Dirac δ\delta initial singularity identical to that of the fundamental solution, and converges to 00 in the sense of the LpL^p-norm (p>1p>1) as time approaches infinity. However, the initial behavior of the other component vv varies significantly based on the value of α\alpha and the spatial dimension, exhibiting regularity (not singular), less singularity, or strong singularity (more singular than fundamental solution). Moreover, both uu and vv undergo instantaneous smoothing, becoming smooth immediately after t>0t>0. This phenomenon reveals the adaptive strategies of cells in high-density aggregation environments to prevent resource depletion, reflecting an optimization process of self-organizing behavior.
