We study a parabolic-elliptic system of partial differential equations, which describes the chemotactic feature of slime molds. It is known that the blowup solution forms singularities such as delta functions, referred to as the collapses. Here, we study the case that the domain is a flat torus and

✦ Synopsis
We study the forward self-similar solutions to a parabolic system modeling chemotaxis
in the whole space R 2 ; where t is a positive constant. Using the Liouville-type result and the method of moving planes, it is proved that self-similar solutions ðu; vÞ must be radially symmetric about the origin. Then the structure of the set of selfsimilar solutions is investigated. As a consequence, it is shown that there exists a threshold in R R 2 u for the existence of self-similar solutions. In particular, for 05t 41=2; there exists a self-similar solution ðu; vÞ if and only if R R 2 u58p: # 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)

## Abstract In this paper, we study the existence of non‐constant steady solutions and the linear stability of constant solutions to nonlinear parabolic‐elliptic system, which actually is a simplified form of the Keller–Segel system modelling chemotaxis. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, We
## Abstract In this paper, we study a parabolic–elliptic system defined on a bounded domain of ℝ^3^, which comes from a chemotactic model. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of local in time solution to this problem in the Sobolev spaces framework, then we study the norm behaviour of solut
## Communicated by Howard A. Levine The Neumann boundary value problem for the chemotaxis system ⎧ ⎨ ⎩ is considered in a smooth bounded domain X ⊂ R n , n 2, with initial data u 0 ∈ C 0 ( X) and v 0 ∈ W 1,∞ (X) satisfying u 0 0 and v 0 >0 in X. It is shown that if 0<v< √ 2 / n then for any such
