Abstract

We study traveling wave solutions of the following chemotaxis systems,{ut=Δuχ1(uv1)+χ2(uv2)+u(abu), xRN0=Δv1λ1v1+μ1u, xRN,0=Δv2λ2v2+μ2u, xRN,\begin{cases}u_t=\Delta u-\chi_1\nabla(u\nabla v_1)+\chi_2\nabla(u\nabla v_2)+u(a-bu),\ x\in\mathbb{R}^N\\ 0=\Delta v_1-\lambda_1v_1+\mu_1u,\ x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\\ 0=\Delta v_2-\lambda_2v_2+\mu_2u,\ x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\end{cases}where u(x,t),v1(x,t)u(x,t), v_1(x,t) and v2(x,t)v_2(x,t) represent the population densities of a mobile species, a chemoattractant, and a chemo-repulsion, respectively. In an earlier work, we proved that there is a constant K0K\geq0 such that if b+χ2μ2>χ1μ1+Kb+\chi_2\mu_2>\chi_1\mu_1+K, then the steady solution (ab,aμ1bλ1,aμ2bλ2)(\frac{a}{b},\frac{a\mu_1}{b\lambda_1},\frac{a\mu_2}{b\lambda_2}) is asymptotically stable with respect to positive perturbations. In this paper, we prove that if b+χ2μ2>χ1μ1+Kb+\chi_2\mu_2>\chi_1\mu_1+K, then there exist a number c(χ1,μ1,λ1,χ2,μ2,λ2)2ac^*(\chi_1,\mu_1,\lambda_1,\chi_2,\mu_2,\lambda_2)\geq 2\sqrt a such that for every c(c(χ1,μ1,λ1,χ2,μ2,λ2),)c\in ( c^*(\chi_1,\mu_1,\lambda_1,\chi_2,\mu_2,\lambda_2) , \infty) and ξSN1\xi\in S^{N-1}, the system has a traveling wave solution (u,v1,v2)=(U(xξct),V1(xξct),V2(xξct))(u,v_1,v_2)=(U(x\cdot\xi-ct),V_1(x\cdot\xi-ct),V_2(x\cdot\xi-ct)) with speed cc connecting the constant solutions (ab,aμ1bλ1,aμ2bλ2)(\frac{a}{b},\frac{a\mu_1}{b\lambda_1},\frac{a\mu_2}{b\lambda_2}) and (0,0,0)(0,0,0), and it does not have such traveling wave solutions of speed less than 2a2\sqrt a. Moreover we prove thatlim(χ1,χ2)(0+,0+)c(χ1,μ1,λ1,χ2,μ2,λ2)={2a if amin{λ1,λ2}a+λ1λ1 if λ1min{a,λ2}a+λ2λ2 if λ2min{a,λ1},λ1,λ2,μ1,μ2>0,\lim_{(\chi_1,\chi_2)\to(0^+,0^+)}c^{*}(\chi_1,\mu_1,\lambda_1,\chi_2,\mu_2,\lambda_2)=\begin{cases}2\sqrt a\ \text{if}\ a\leq \min\{\lambda_1, \lambda_2\}\\ \frac{a+\lambda_1}{\sqrt{\lambda_1}}\ \text{if}\ \lambda_1\leq \min\{a, \lambda_2\}\\ \frac{a+\lambda_2}{\sqrt{\lambda_2}}\ \text{if}\ \lambda_2\leq \min\{a, \lambda_1\}\end{cases},\forall \lambda_1,\lambda_2,\mu_1,\mu_2>0,andlimxU(x)eaμx=1,\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{U(x)}{e^{-\sqrt{a}\mu x}}=1, where μ\mu solves a(μ+1μ)=c\sqrt a(\mu+\frac{1}{\mu})=c in the interval (0,min{1,λ1a,λ2a})(0 , \min\{1,\sqrt{\frac{\lambda_1}{a}},\sqrt{\frac{\lambda_2}{a}}\}).
