We consider the chemotaxis problem for a one-dimensional system. To analyze the interaction of bacteria and attractant we use a modified Keller-Segel model which accounts attractant absorption. To describe the system we use the chemotaxis…
The stochastic motion in a nonhomogeneous medium with traps is studied and diffusion properties of that system are discussed. The particle is subjected to a stochastic stimulation obeying a general L\'evy stable statistics and experiences…
This review article aims to stress and reunite some of the analytic formalism of the anomalous diffusive processes that have succeeded in their description. Also, it has the objective to discuss which of the new directions they have taken…
We consider an evolutionary PDE system coupling the Cahn-Hilliard equation with singular potential, mass source and transport effects, to a Brinkman-type relation for the macroscopic velocity field and to a further equation describing the…
Multicellular chemotaxis can occur via individually chemotaxing cells that are mechanically coupled. Alternatively, it can emerge collectively, from cells chemotaxing differently in a group than they would individually. Here we consider…
The motion of contaminant particles through complex environments such as fractured rocks or porous sediments is often characterized by anomalous diffusion: the spread of the transported quantity is found to grow sublinearly in time due to…
The modelling of linear and nonlinear reaction-subdiffusion processes is more subtle than normal diffusion and causes different phenomena. The resulting equations feature a spatial Laplacian with a temporal memory term through a time…
Chemotaxis allows single cells to self-organize at the population level, as classically described by Keller-Segel models. We show that chemotactic aggregation can be understood using a generalized Maxwell construction based on the balance…
Phototaxis is one of the most fundamental stimulus-response behaviors in biology wherein motile micro-organisms sense light gradients to swim towards the light source. Apart from single cell survival and growth, it plays a major role at the…
Bacterial chemotaxis is one of the most extensively studied adaptive responses in cells. Many bacteria are able to bias their apparently random motion to produce a drift in the direction of the increasing chemoattractant concentration. It…
We propose a mathematical model, namely a reaction-diffusion system, to describe social behaviour of cockroaches. An essential new aspect in our model is that the dispersion behaviour due to overcrowding effect is taken into account {as a…
In the past the study of reaction-diffusion systems has greatly contributed to our understanding of the behavior of many-body systems far from equilibrium. In this paper we aim at characterizing the properties of diffusion limited reactions…
In this paper we present a study of anomalous diffusion using a Fokker-Planck description with fractional velocity derivatives. The distribution functions are found using numerical means for varying degree of fractionality observing the…
Incorporating the inherent heterogeneity of living systems into models of active nematics is essential to provide a more realistic description of biological processes such as bacterial growth, cell dynamics and tissue development.…
The classical macroscopic chemotaxis equations have previously been derived from an individual-based description of the tactic response of cells that use a "run-and-tumble" strategy in response to environmental cues. Here we derive…
We consider the coagulation dynamics A+A -> A and A+A <-> A and the annihilation dynamics A+A -> 0 for particles moving subdiffusively in one dimension. This scenario combines the "anomalous kinetics" and "anomalous diffusion" problems,…
In contrast to normal diffusion, there is no canonical model for reactions between chemical species which move by anomalous subdiffusion. Indeed, the type of mesoscopic equation describing reaction-subdiffusion depends on subtle assumptions…
By considering the master equation of the partially asymmetric diffusion process on a one-dimensional lattice, the most general boundary condition (i.e. interactions) for the multi-species reaction-diffusion processes is considered.…
We show how the nonlinear interaction effects `volume filling' and `adhesion' can be incorporated into the fractional subdiffusive transport of cells and individual organisms. To this end, we use microscopic random walk models with…
Collective migration -- the directed, coordinated motion of many self-propelled agents -- is a fascinating emergent behavior exhibited by active matter that has key functional implications for biological systems. Extensive studies have…
