Optimal critical mass for the two-dimensional Keller–Segel model with rotational flux terms

Our aim is to show that several important systems of partial differential equations arising in mathematical biology, fluid dynamics and electrokinetics can be approached within a single model, namely, a Keller-Segel-type system with rotational flux terms. In particular, we establish sharp conditions...

description Our aim is to show that several important systems of partial differential equations arising in mathematical biology, fluid dynamics and electrokinetics can be approached within a single model, namely, a Keller-Segel-type system with rotational flux terms. In particular, we establish sharp conditions on the optimal critical mass for having global existence and finite time blow-up of solutions in two spatial dimensions. Our results imply that the rotated chemotactic response can delay or even avoid the blow-up. The key observation is that for any angle of rotation α∈(-π, π], the resulting PDE system preserves a dissipative energy structure. Inspired by this property, we also provide an alternative derivation of the general system via an energetic variational approach. ©2020 International Press.
