We consider the three-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Patlak-Keller-Segel equations (PKS) subject to ambient flows. Without the ambient fluid flow, the equation is super-critical in three-dimension and has finite-time blow-up solutions with…

We study a singular limit of the classical parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) model for chemotaxis with non linear diffusion. The main result is the $\Gamma$ convergence of the corresponding energy functional toward the perimeter…

It is known that finite-time blow-up in the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel system may occur for arbitrarily small values of the initial mass. It's interesting whether one can prevent the finite-time blow-up via the stabilizing effect of the moving…

Collective motion of chemotactic bacteria as E. Coli relies, at the individual level, on a continuous reorientation by runs and tumbles. It has been established that the length of run is decided by a stiff response to a temporal sensingof…
