Global Existence of Classical Solutions to a Cancer Invasion Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with a chemotaxis-haptotaxis model of cancer invasion of tissue. The model consists of three reactiondiffusion-taxis partial differential equations describing interactions between cancer cells, matrix degrading enzymes, and the host tissue. The equation for cell density includes two bounded nonlinear density-dependent chemotactic and haptotactic sensitivity functions. In the absence of logistic damping, we prove the global existence of a unique classical solution to this model by some delicate a priori estimate techniques.

متن کاملMathematical Modelling of Cancer Invasion of Tissue: the Role and Effect of Nonlocal Interactions
In this paper we consider a mathematical model of cancer cell invasion of tissue (extracellular matrix). Two crucial components of tissue invasion are (i) cancer cell proliferation, and (ii) over-expression and secretion of proteolytic enzymes by the cancer cells. The proteolytic enzymes are responsible for the degradation of the tissue, enabling the proliferating cancer cells to actively invad...

This paper studies the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for a generalized quasilinear parabolic equation with appropriate initial and mixed boundary conditions. Under some practicable regularity criteria on diffusion item and nonlinearity, we establish the local existence and uniqueness of classical solutions based on a contraction mapping. This local solution can be conti...
