Two ways of modelling cross-diffusion

From MaRDI portal





Two substances with densities \(u(t,x)\), \(v(t,x)\) at time \(t\) and place \(x\) are considered. The substance \(u\) flows from places where its density is high towards the density is low; the substance \(v\) has an attracting or repelling effect on \(u\). By a standard procedure it is obtained the system \[ u_t=f(u,v) +\text{div} (d_{11} \text{gradu} +d_{12} \text{gradv}), \quad v_t=g(u,v) +\text{div} (d_{21} \text{gradu} +d_{22} \text{gradv}), \] where \(f\) and \(g\) express the interaction between \(u\) and \(v\); \(d_{ik}\) are constant coefficients. By an another procedure it is obtained the system \[ u_t=f(u,v) +\text{div} \bigl(d_1(v) \text{gradu} \bigr), \quad v_t= g(u,v) +\text{div} \bigl(d_2(u) \text{gradv}), \] where \(d_1\), \(d_2\) are positive decreasing functions on \([0,\infty)\), or on \([0,u_0)\), \(u_0>0\), \([0,v_0)\), \(v_0>0\). The aim of this paper is to compare these two possible ways of modelling cross-diffusion.
