One of the most important findings in the study of chemotactic process is self-organized cellular aggregation, and a high volume of results are devoted to the analysis of a concentration of single species. Whereas, the multi-species case is…
Chemotaxis-driven invasions have been proposed across a broad spectrum of biological processes, from cancer to ecology. The influential system of equations introduced by Keller and Segel has proven a popular choice in the modelling of such…
We study a general class of nonlinear mean field Fokker-Planck equations in relation with an effective generalized thermodynamical formalism. We show that these equations describe several physical systems such as: chemotaxis of bacterial…
We formulate the Smoluchowski equation for a run-and-tumble particle. It includes the mean tumble rate in a chemical field, for which we derive a Markovian response theory. Using a multipole expansion and a reaction-diffusion equation for…
The aim of this paper is to analyze a model for chemotaxis based on a local sensing mechanism instead of the gradient sensing mechanism used in the celebrated minimal Keller-Segel model. The model we study has the same entropy as the…
A wide array of biological systems can navigate in shallow gradients of chemoattractant with remarkable precision. Whilst previous approaches model such systems using coarse-grained chemical density profiles, we construct a dynamical model…
In this paper, we study the nonconstant positive steady states of a Keller-Segel chemotaxis system over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$. The sensitivity function is chosen to be $\phi(v)=\ln (v+c)$ where $c$ is a…
We derive the two-dimensional Keller-Segel equation from a stochastic system of $N$ interacting particles in the case of sub-critical chemosensitivity $\chi < 8 \pi$. The Coulomb interaction force is regularised with a cutoff of size $N^{-…
We investigate a one dimensional flux limited Keller Segel system (FLKS) in which the chemical decay rate is allowed to vary explicitly in time, a feature motivated by enzymatic regulation and environmental variability in chemotactic…
The capacity to aggregate through chemosensitive movement forms a paradigm of self-organisation, with examples spanning cellular and animal systems. A basic mechanism assumes a phenotypically homogeneous population that secretes its own…
We perform a Lie symmetry analysis on the tempered-fractional Keller Segel (TFKS) system, a chemo-taxis model incorporating anomalous diffusion. A novel approach is used to handle the nonlocal nature of tempered fractional operators. By…
We describe a new phenomenon in models of coalescence and fragmentation, that of gel-shatter cycles. These are dynamical, unforced, stochastic cycles in which slow, approximately deterministic coalescence up to and beyond gelation is…
Stochastic agent-based models can account for millions of cells with spatiotemporal movement that can be a function of different factors. However, these simulations can be computationally expensive. In this work, we develop a novel…
Directed cell motion in response to an external chemical gradient occurs in many biological phenomena such as wound healing, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis. Chemotaxis is often characterized by the accuracy, persistence, and speed of…
We construct weak global in time solutions to the classical Keller-Segel system cell movement by chemotaxis in two dimensions when the total mass is below the well-known critical value. Our construction takes advantage of the fact that the…
We consider the modeling of the dynamics of the chemostat at its very source. The chemostat is classically represented as a system of ordinary differential equations. Our goal is to establish a stochastic model that is valid at the scale…
To describe the cellular self-aggregation phenomenon, some strongly coupled PDEs named as Keller-Segel (KS) and Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) systems were proposed in 1970s. Since KS and PKS systems possess relatively simple structures but…
This paper investigates the Keller-Segel model with quadratic cellular diffusion over a disk in $\mathbb R^2$ with a focus on the formation of its nontrivial patterns. We obtain explicit formulas of radially symmetric stationary solutions…
How can repulsive and attractive forces, acting on a conservative system, create stable traveling patterns or branching instabilities? We have proposed to study this question in the framework of the hyperbolic Keller-Segel system with…
In this work we numerically study the diffusive limit of run & tumble kinetic models for cell motion due to chemotaxis by means of asymptotic preserving schemes. It is well-known that the diffusive limit of these models leads to the…
