Abstract
Convergence of solutions to a partially diffusive chemotaxis system with indirect signal production and phenotype switching is shown in a two-dimensional setting when the switching rate increases to infinity, thereby providing a rigorous justification of formal computations performed in the literature. The expected limit system being the classical parabolic–parabolic Keller–Segel system, the obtained convergence is restricted to a finite time interval for general initial conditions but valid for arbitrary bounded time intervals when the mass of the initial condition is appropriately small. Furthermore, if the solution to the limit system blows up in finite time, then neither of the two phenotypes in the partially diffusive system can be uniformly bounded with respect to the L2-norm beyond that time.
期刊介绍:
Aimed primarily at mathematicians and physicists interested in research on nonlinear phenomena, the journal''s coverage ranges from proofs of important theorems to papers presenting ideas, conjectures and numerical or physical experiments of significant physical and mathematical interest.
Subject coverage:
The journal publishes papers on nonlinear mathematics, mathematical physics, experimental physics, theoretical physics and other areas in the sciences where nonlinear phenomena are of fundamental importance. A more detailed indication is given by the subject interests of the Editorial Board members, which are listed in every issue of the journal.
Due to the broad scope of Nonlinearity, and in order to make all papers published in the journal accessible to its wide readership, authors are required to provide sufficient introductory material in their paper. This material should contain enough detail and background information to place their research into context and to make it understandable to scientists working on nonlinear phenomena.
Nonlinearity is a journal of the Institute of Physics and the London Mathematical Society.
