We present a mathematical model that describes how tumour heterogeneity evolves in a tissue slice that is oxygenated by a single blood vessel. Phenotype is identified with the stemness level of a cell, $s$, that determines its proliferative…

An existence result is proved for a nonlinear diffusion problem of phase-field type, consisting of a parabolic system of two partial differential equations, complemented by Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions and initial conditions.…

We study a time-fractional Fisher-KPP equation involving a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative acting on the diffusion term, as derived by Angstmann and Henry (Entropy, 22:1035, 2020). The model captures memory effects in diffusive…

We study a tumor growth model in two space dimensions, where proliferation of the tumor cells leads to expansion of the tumor domain and migration of surrounding normal tissues into the exterior vacuum. The model features two moving…

A system with equation and dynamic boundary condition of Cahn-Hilliard type is considered. This system comes from a derivation performed in Liu-Wu (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 233 (2019), 167--247) via an energetic variational approach.…

This paper is intended to tackle the control problem associated with an extended phase field system of Cahn-Hilliard type that is related to a tumor growth model. This system has been investigated in previous contributions from the…

Boltzmann equation describes the time development of the velocity distribution in the continuum fluid matter. We formulate the equation using the field theory where the {\it velocity-field} plays the central role. The matter (constituent…

We consider a differential model describing nonisothermal fast phase separation processes taking place in a three-dimensional bounded domain. This model consists of a viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation characterized by the presence of an…

We investigate the evolution of tumor growth relying on a nonlinear model of partial differential equations which incorporates mechanical laws for tissue compression combined with rules for nutrients availability and drug application.…

We address an optimal control problem governed by a system coupling a Brinkman-type momentum equation for the velocity field with a sixth-order Cahn-Hilliard equation for the phase variable, incorporating curvature effects in the free…

In this paper, we establish a novel approach to proving existence of non-negative weak solutions for degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order, like the Cahn-Hilliard and certain thin film equations. The considered evolution equations…

In a previous paper we have introduced a phenomenological model of cell metabolism and of the cell cycle to simulate the behavior of large tumor cell populations (Chignola R and Milotti E, Phys. Biol. 2 (2005) 8-22). Here we describe a…

In this paper, the authors study the distributed optimal control of a system of three evolutionary equations involving fractional powers of three selfadjoint, monotone, unbounded linear operators having compact resolvents. The system is a…

In this paper, we conduct a thorough mathematical analysis of a tumor growth model with treatments. The model is a system describing the evolution of metastatic tumors and the number of cells present in a primary tumor. The former evolution…

We show short-time well-posedness of a diffuse interface model describing the flow of a fluid through a deformable porous medium consisting of two phases. The system non-linearly couples Biot's equations for poroelasticity, including…

We investigate the Cahn-Hilliard equation with nonlinear diffusion and non-degenerate mobility modeling phase separation phenomena in complex systems (e.g., crystals and polymers). Previous results in the literature on this model relied on…

A mathematical model of infiltrative tumour growth taking into account cell proliferation, death and motility is considered. The model is formulated in terms of local cell density and nutrient (oxygen) concentration. In the model the rate…

Using the advective Cahn-Hilliard equation as a model, we illuminate the role of advection in phase-separating binary liquids. The advecting velocity is either prescribed, or is determined by an evolution equation that accounts for the…

In this paper we analyse a previously proposed cell-based model of glioblastoma (brain tumour) growth, which is based on the assumption that the cancer cells switch phenotypes between a proliferative and motile state (Gerlee and Nelander,…

A diffuse interface model for surfactants in multi-phase flow with three or more fluids is derived. A system of Cahn-Hilliard equations is coupled with a Navier-Stokes system and an advection-diffusion equation for the surfactant ensuring…
