A chemorepulsion model with superlinear production: analysis of the continuous problem and two approximately positive and energy-stable schemes
We consider the following repulsive-productive chemotaxis model: find 0, the cell density, and 0, the chemical concentration, satisfying 0 in 0 in 0 (1) with 1 2 , a bounded domain ( 1 2 3), endowed with non-flux boundary conditions. By using a regularization technique, we prove the existence of glo...

| Sumario: | We consider the following repulsive-productive chemotaxis model: find 0, the cell density, and 0, the chemical concentration, satisfying 0 in 0 in 0 (1) with 1 2 , a bounded domain ( 1 2 3), endowed with non-flux boundary conditions. By using a regularization technique, we prove the existence of global in time weak solutions of (1) which is regular and unique for 1 2. Moreover, we propose two fully discrete Finite Element (FE) nonlinear schemes, the first one defined in the variables under structured meshes, and the second one by using the auxiliary variable and defined in general meshes. We prove some unconditional properties for both schemes, such as mass-conservation, solvability, energy-stability and approximated positivity. Finally, we compare the behavior of these schemes with respect to the classical FE backward Euler scheme throughout several numerical simulations and give some conclusions. |
