Spatial self-similarity is a hallmark of critical phenomena. We study the dynamic process of percolation, in which bonds are incrementally added to an initially empty lattice until the system becomes fully occupied. By tracking the gap --…

Critical fluctuations are known to induce a collapse of polymer chains in a mixed solvent upon approaching its liquid-liquid critical point, as originally predicted by Brochard and de Gennes. Recently, we have found that closer to the…
We consider the Keller-Segel system with a volume-filling effect and study its incompressible limit. Due to the presence of logistic-type sensitivity, $K=1$ is the critical threshold. When $K>1$, as the diffusion exponent tends to infinity,…
We study the effect of chemotactic signaling among mesenchymal cells. We show that the particular physiology of the mesenchymal cells allows one-dimensional collapse in contrast to the case of bacteria, and that the mesenchymal…
The Patlak-Keller-Segel equation is a canonical model of chemotaxis to describe self-organized aggregation of organisms interacting with chemical signals. We investigate a variant of this model, assuming that the organisms exert effective…
Chemotaxis is the physical phenomenon that bacteria adjust their motions according to chemical stimulus. A classical model for this phenomenon is a kinetic equation that describes the velocity jump process whose tumbling/transition kernel…
As is well-known, the solution of the Patlak-Keller-Segel system in 3D may blow up in finite time regardless of any initial cell mass. In this paper, we are interested in the suppression of blow-up and the critical mass threshold for the 3D…
