The main feature of the model is that there exists a new entropy functional yielding gradient estimates for the cell density and chemical concentration. The main features of the numerical scheme are positivity preservation, mass conservation, entropy stability, and - under additional assumptions - entropy dissipation. The existence of a discrete solution and its numerical convergence to the continuous solution is proved. Furthermore, temporal decay rates for convergence of the discrete solution to the homogeneous steady state is shown using a new discrete logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Numerical examples point out that the solutions exhibit intermediate states and that there exist nonhomogeneous stationary solutions with a finite cell density peak at the domain boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-07-10T12:39:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65M08", "65M12", "92C17" ], "keywords": [ "finite volume scheme", "keller-segel model", "additional cross-diffusion", "entropy functional yielding gradient estimates", "discrete logarithmic sobolev inequality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.0309B" } } }
