Spreading speeds of a parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis model with logistic source on $\mathbb{R}^{N}$
Abstract
The current paper is concerned with the spreading speeds of the following parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis model with logistic source on , \begin{equation} \begin{cases} u_t=\Delta u-\chi\nabla\cdot ( u\nabla v) + u(a-bu),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^{N},\cr {v_t}=\Delta v -\lambda v+\mu u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}. \end{cases}(1) \end{equation} where are positive constants. Assume . Among others, it is proved that is the spreading speed of the global classical solutions of (1) with nonempty compactly supported initial functions, that is, and where is the unique global classical solution of (1) with , , and , are nonempty and compact. It is well known that is the spreading speed of the following Fisher-KPP equation, Hence, if , the chemotaxis neither speeds up nor slows down the spatial spreading in the Fisher-KPP equation.
