Traveling-Wave Chemotaxis.
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model is studied for the chemotactic movement of biological cells in the presence of a periodic chemical wave. It incorporates the feature of adaptation that may play an important role in allowing for “rectified” chemotaxis: motion opposite the direction of wave propagation. The conditions under which such rectification occurs are elucidated in terms of the form and speed of the chemical wave, the velocity of chemotaxis, and the time scale for adaptation. An experimental test of the adaptation dynamics is proposed.

Nonlinear Stability of Large Amplitude Viscous Shock Waves of a Generalized Hyperbolic{parabolic System Arising in Chemotaxis
Traveling wave (band) behavior driven by chemotaxis was observed experimentally by Adler and was modeled by Keller and Segel. For a quasilinear hyperbolic parabolic system that arises as a non-di®usive limit of the Keller Segel model with nonlinear kinetics, we establish the existence and nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions with large amplitudes. The numerical simulations are perfor...
متن کاملA Constructive Approach to Traveling Waves in Chemotaxis
In this paper we study the existence of one and multidimensional traveling wave solutions for general chemotaxis or so-called Keller-Segel models without reproduction of the chemotactic species. We present a constructive approach to give modelers a choice of chemotactic sensitivity functionals, production, and degradation terms for the chemical signal at hand. The main aim is to understand the ...
متن کاملMathematics of Traveling Waves in Chemotaxis –review Paper–
This article surveys the mathematical aspects of traveling waves of a class of chemotaxis models with logarithmic sensitivity, which describe a variety of biological or medical phenomena including bacterial chemotactic motion, initiation of angiogenesis and reinforced random walks. The survey is focused on the existence, wave speed, asymptotic decay rates, stability and chemical diffusion limit...
متن کاملTraveling Wave and Aggregation in a Flux-Limited Keller-Segel Model
Flux-limited Keller-Segel (FLKS) model has been recently derived from kinetic transport models for bacterial chemotaxis and shown to represent better the collective movement observed experimentally. Recently, associated to the kinetic model, a new instability formalism has been discovered related to stiff chemotactic response. This motivates our study of traveling wave and aggregation in popula...
متن کاملFamilies of traveling impulses and fronts in some models with cross-diffusion
An analysis of traveling wave solutions of partial differential equation (PDE) systems with cross-diffusion is presented. The systems under study fall in a general class of the classical Keller-Segel models to describe chemotaxis. The analysis is conducted using the theory of the phase plane analysis of the corresponding wave systems without a priory restrictions on the boundary conditions of t...
