Error Analysis of a Conservative Finite-element Approximation for the Keller-segel System of Chemotaxis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are concerned with the finite-element approximation for the Keller-Segel system that describes the aggregation of slime molds resulting from their chemotactic features. The scheme makes use of a semi-implicit time discretization with a time-increment control and Baba-Tabata’s conservative upwind finite-element approximation in order to realize the positivity and mass conservation properties. The main aim is to present error analysis that is an application of the discrete version of the analytical semigroup theory.

Fully Discrete Analysis of a Discontinuous Finite Element Method for the Keller-Segel Chemotaxis Model
This paper formulates and analyzes fully discrete schemes for the two-dimensional Keller-Segel chemotaxis model. The spatial discretization of the model is based on the discontinuous Galerkin methods and the temporal discretization is based either on Forward Euler or the second order explicit total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta methods. We consider Cartesian grids and prove optimal fu...
متن کاملLocal Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Keller-Segel Chemotaxis Model
In this paper, we apply the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method to 2D Keller– Segel (KS) chemotaxis model. We improve the results upon (Y. Epshteyn and A. Kurganov, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 47 (2008), 368-408) and give optimal rate of convergence under special finite element spaces. Moreover, to construct physically relevant numerical approximations, we develop a positivity-pre...
متن کاملStochastic homogenization of the Keller-Segel chemotaxis system
Abstract In this paper, we focus on the one-dimensional Keller-Segel chemotaxis system in a random heterogeneous domain. We assume that the corresponding diffusion and chemotaxis coefficients are given by stationary ergodic processes, and apply methods pertaining to stochastic two-scale convergence to derive the homogenized macroscopic equations. Special attention is paid to developing efficien...
متن کاملA finite volume scheme for the Patlak-Keller-Segel chemotaxis model
A finite volume method is presented to discretize the Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) model for chemosensitive movements. On the one hand, we prove existence and uniqueness of a numerical solution to the proposed scheme. On the other hand, we give a priori estimates and establish a threshold on the initial mass, for which we show that the numerical approximation convergences to the solution to the PK...
متن کاملNew Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for the Keller-Segel Chemotaxis Model
We develop a family of new interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods for the Keller-Segel chemotaxis model. This model is described by a system of two nonlinear PDEs: a convection-diffusion equation for the cell density coupled with a reaction-diffusion equation for the chemoattractant concentration. It has been recently shown that the convective part of this system is of a mixed hyperbol...
