Abstract
This manuscript studies a no-flux initial-boundary value problem for a four-component chemotaxis system that has been proposed as a model for the response of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes to a solid tumor. In contrast to classical Keller-Segel type situations focusing on two-component interplay of chemotaxing populations with a signal directly secreted by themselves, the presently considered system accounts for a certain indirect mechanism of attractant evolution. Despite the presence of a zero-order exciting nonlinearity of quadratic type that forms a core mathematical feature of the model, the manuscript asserts the global existence of classical solutions for initial data of arbitrary size in three-dimensional domains.
本手稿研究了一个四成分趋化系统的无流动初始边界值问题,该系统已被提出作为细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞对实体瘤反应的模型。与经典的凯勒-西格尔(Keller-Segel)型情况不同,目前考虑的系统侧重于趋化群体与自身直接分泌的信号之间的双组分相互作用,并考虑了某种吸引物演变的间接机制。尽管该模型的核心数学特征是存在二次型零阶激励非线性,但手稿仍断言,对于三维域中任意大小的初始数据,经典解在全局上是存在的。
期刊介绍:
All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. The AMS has a single blind peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are.
This journal is devoted to shorter research articles (not to exceed 15 printed pages) in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Proceedings, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Longer papers may be submitted to the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX.
