Generalizing the Keller-Segel model: Lyapunov functionals, steady state analysis, and blow-up results for multi-species chemotaxis models in the presence of attraction and repulsion between competitive interacting species (Q451124)

Author extend the famous Keller-Segel model for the chemotactic movement of motile species to some multi-species chemotaxis equations. The presented multi-species chemotaxis models are more general than those introduced so far and also include some interaction effects that have not been studied before. As example, multi-chemotaxis models with attraction and repulsion between interactive motile species. For some of the presented new models sufficient conditions for the existence of Lyapunov functionals considered. These new results are related to those of \textit{G. Wolansky} [Eur. J. Appl. Math. 13, No. 6, 641--661 (2002; Zbl 1008.92008)]. Linear stability analysis is performed for uniform steady states, and results for the corresponding steady state problems are established. These include existence results for non-constant steady state solutions in some special cases.
