Abstract

Perhaps the most classical diffusion model for chemotaxis is the Keller-Segel system \begin{equation} \begin{cases} u_{t} =\Delta u - \nabla \cdot(u \nabla v) \ \ \ \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2\times(0,T),\\[5pt] v = (-\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^2})^{-1} u := \displaystyle\frac {1}{2\pi} \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \log \frac {1}{|x-z|}u(z,t) dz, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\star)\\[5pt] u(\cdot ,0) = u_{0}^{\star} \ge 0 \ \ \ \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2. \end{cases} \end{equation} We show that there exists ε>0\varepsilon>0 such that for any mm satisfying 8π<m8π+ε8\pi<m\le 8\pi+\varepsilon and any kk given points q1,...,qkq_{1},...,q_{k} in R2\mathbb{R}^{2} there is an initial data u0u_0^* of ()(\star) for which the solution u(x,t)u(x,t) blows-up in finite time as tTt\to T with the approximate profile u(x,t)=j=1k1λj2(t)U(xξj(t)λj(t))(1+o(1)),U(y)=8(1+y2)2,u(x,t)=\sum_{j=1}^{k}\frac{1}{\lambda_{j}^{2}(t)}U\left(\frac{x-\xi_{j}(t)}{\lambda_{j}(t)}\right)(1+o(1)), U(y)=\frac{8}{(1+|y|^{2})^{2}}, with λj(t)2eγ+22Tteln(Tt)2\lambda_{j}(t) \approx 2e^{-\frac{\gamma+2}{2}}\sqrt{T-t}e^{-\sqrt{\frac{|\ln(T-t)|}{2}}} where γ=0.57721...\gamma=0.57721... is the Euler-Mascheroni constant, ξj(t)qjR2\xi_{j}(t)\to q_{j}\in \mathbb{R}^{2} and such that R2u(x,t)dx=km.\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}u(x,t)dx=km. This construction generalizes the existence result of the stable blow-up dynamics recently proved in \cite{CGMN1,CGMN2}.
