PREY-TAXIS VS A SHORTWAVE EXTERNAL SIGNAL IN MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS
摘要
Here, we address a short-wave asymptotic for one class of quasi-linear second-order PDE systems involving the cross-diffusion described by the so-called Patlak–Keller–Segel law. It is common to employ these equations for modelling the predator–prey community with the so-called prey-taxis. By that, we mean the interactions of two species of particles or cells or anything else through which the species called predators is capable of directional movement in response to the density gradient of the other one called prey. In contrast with the widely studied models, we suppose the predators possess the same kind of sensitivity with respect to the intensity of an external field, which is independent from the community state. Such a field can be due to the spatiotemporal inhomogeneity of the environment arising from natural or artificial reasons. This is what we call an external signal. We assume that the external signal takes a general short-wave form and construct the complete asymptotic expansions of the short-wave solutions. This result generalizes the prior one by Morgulis and Malal (
