Abstract

This paper is concerned with traveling wave solutions of the following full parabolic Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with logistic source, \begin{equation} \begin{cases} u_t=\Delta u -\chi\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)+u(a-bu),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N \cr \tau v_t=\Delta v-\lambda v +\mu u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N, \end{cases}(1) \end{equation} where χ,μ,λ,a,\chi, \mu,\lambda,a, and bb are positive numbers, and τ0\tau\ge 0. Among others, it is proved that if b>2χμb>2\chi\mu and τ12(1λa)+,\tau \geq \frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{\lambda}{a})_{+} , then for every c2ac\ge 2\sqrt{a}, (1) has a traveling wave solution (u,v)(t,x)=(Uτ,c(xξct),Vτ,c(xξct))(u,v)(t,x)=(U^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct),V^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct)) (ξRN\forall\, \xi\in\mathbb{R}^N) connecting the two constant steady states (0,0)(0,0) and (ab,μλab)(\frac{a}{b},\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\frac{a}{b}), and there is no such solutions with speed cc less than 2a2\sqrt{a}, which improves considerably the results established in \cite{SaSh3}, and shows that (1) has a minimal wave speed c0=2ac_0^*=2\sqrt a, which is independent of the chemotaxis.
