Asymptotic convergence of solutions of Keller-Segel equations in network shaped domains (Q2183444)

The chemotaxis model of Keller and Segel is studied on graphs (network shaped domains). The model consists of parabolic equations on one-dimensional edges connected through Kirchhoff type transition conditions in nodes. Global in time existence of solutions is proved, and such solutions converge to steady states. The proof combines Lyapunov functions techniques and an inequality of Łojasiewicz-Simon type. The author's approach based on sectorial operators theory is different than in [\textit{F. Camilli} and \textit{L. Corrias}, J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 108, No. 4, 459--480 (2017; Zbl 1370.92028)] also devoted to chemotaxis on networks.
