In this article, the diffusive limit of run-and-tumble kinetic models for cell motion due to chemotaxis was studied by means of asymptotic preserving schemes.Abstract:
In this work we numerically study the diffusive limit of run & tumble kinetic models for cell motion due to chemotaxis by means of asymptotic preserving schemes. It is well known that the diffusive limit of these models leads to the classical Patlak--Keller--Segel macroscopic model for chemotaxis. We will show that the proposed scheme is able to accurately approximate the solutions before blow-up time for small parameter. Moreover, the numerical results indicate that the global solutions of the kinetic models stabilize for long times to steady states for all the analyzed parameter range. We demonstrate an aggregative behavior from small to a large unique aggregate for the kinetic solutions after the blow-up time in the Patlak--Keller--Segel model. We also generalize these asymptotic preserving schemes to two dimensional kinetic models in the radial case. The blow-up of solutions is numerically investigated in all these cases.read more

Positivity-preserving and asymptotic preserving method for 2D Keller-Segal equations
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-discrete scheme for 2D Keller-Segel equations based on a symmetrization reformation was proposed, which is equivalent to the convex splitting method and is free of any nonlinear solver.

Confinement by biased velocity jumps: Aggregation of escherichia coli
TL;DR: Dolbeault et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated a one-dimensional linear kinetic equation derived from a velocity jump process modelling bacterial chemotaxis in presence of an external chemical signal centered at the origin, and proved the existence of a positive equilibrium distribution with an exponential decay at infinity.
