An analysis lab that studies mathematical models of chemotaxis using partial differential equations.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the behavior of solutions to chemotaxis equations
Yokota Lab studies partial differential equations within analysis.
Its main research subject is chemotaxis systems arising in mathematical biology.
Chemotaxis is the property by which a chemoattractant induces directed movement in a population, and a representative mathematical model is the Keller-Segel system.
Using methods of real analysis, such as integration by parts and maximal regularity, together with operator theory, the lab investigates the boundedness of solutions and finite-time blow-up.
Key terms
- Partial differential equation
- An equation that expresses the relationship between a function of two or more variables and its rates of change.
- Chemotaxis
- The property by which a chemoattractant (such as a pheromone) induces directed movement in a population.
- Keller-Segel system
- A well-known mathematical model of chemotaxis, describing the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum moving toward higher concentrations of a chemoattractant that it secretes itself.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the asymptotic behavior of solutions for nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. Its main research subject is chemotaxis systems arising in mathematical biology.
