Abstract

We consider a system of two kinetic equations modelling a multicellular system : The first equation governs the dynamics of cells, whereas the second kinetic equation governs the dynamics of the chemoattractant. For this system, we first prove the existence of global-in-time solution. The proof of existence relies on a fixed point procedure after establishing some a priori estimates. Then, we investigate the hyperbolic limit after rescaling of the kinetic system. It leads to a macroscopic system of Cattaneo type. The rigorous derivation is established thanks to a compactness method.
