Abstract: We consider a non-linear integro-differential model describing z, the position of the cell center on the real line presented in [Grec et al., J. Theo. Bio. 2018]. We introduce a new varepsilon-scaling and we prove rigorously the asymptotics when varepsilon goes to zero. We show that this scaling characterizes the long-time behavior of the solutions of our problem in the cinematic regime (the velocity dotz tends to a limit). The convergence results are first given when psi, the elastic energy associated to linkages, is convex and regular (the second order derivative of psi is bounded). In the absence of blood flow, when psi, is quadratic, we compute the final position zinfty to which we prove that z tends. We then build a rigorous mathematical framework for psi being convex but only Lipschitz. We extend convergence results with respect to varepsilon to this case when psi′ admits a finite number of jumps. In the last part, we show that in the constant force case (see Model 3 in [Grec et al], psi is the absolute value), we solve explicitly the problem and recover the above asymptotic results.
