چکیده
We propose a nonlinear random walk model which is suitable for the analysis of both chemotaxis and anomalous subdiffusive transport. We derive the master equations for the population density for the case when the transition rate for a random walk depends on residence time, chemotactic substance, and population density. We introduce the anomalous chemotactic sensitivity and find an anomalous aggregation phenomenon. So we suggest a different explanation of the well-known effect of chemotactic collapse.

Subdiffusion, superdiffusion and chemotaxis
We propose two nonlinear random walk models which are suitable for the analysis of both chemotaxis and anomalous transport. We derive the balance equations for the population density for the case when the transition rate for a random walk depends on residence time, chemotactic substance and population density. We introduce the anomalous chemotactic sensitivity and find anomalous aggregation phe...
متن کاملFractional chemotaxis diffusion equations.
We introduce mesoscopic and macroscopic model equations of chemotaxis with anomalous subdiffusion for modeling chemically directed transport of biological organisms in changing chemical environments with diffusion hindered by traps or macromolecular crowding. The mesoscopic models are formulated using continuous time random walk equations and the macroscopic models are formulated with fractiona...
متن کاملFractional Cable Equation Models for Anomalous Electrodiffusion in Nerve Cells: Finite Domain Solutions
In recent work we introduced fractional Nernst–Planck equations and related fractional cable equations to model electrodiffusion of ions in nerve cells with anomalous subdiffusion along and across the nerve cells. This work was motivated by many computational and experimental studies showing that anomalous diffusion is ubiquitous in biological systems with binding, crowding, or trapping. For ex...
متن کاملNon-homogeneous random walks, subdiffusive migration of cells and anomalous chemotaxis
This paper is concerned with a non-homogeneous in space and non-local in time random walk model for anomalous subdiffusive transport of cells. Starting with a Markov model involving a structured probability density function, we derive the non-local in time master equation and fractional equation for the probability of cell position. We derive the fractional Fokker-Planck equation for the densit...
متن کاملFractional Fokker-Planck subdiffusion in alternating force fields.
The fractional Fokker-Planck equation for subdiffusion in time-dependent force fields is derived from the underlying continuous time random walk. Its limitations are discussed and it is then applied to the study of subdiffusion under the influence of a time-periodic rectangular force. As a main result, we show that such a force does not affect the universal scaling relation between the anomalou...
