Abstract

Since its introduction, the Keller--Segel model has become a cornerstone in the mathematical theory of chemotaxis and it has generated extensive analytical activity. Most studies consider homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, which ensure mass conservation and simplify the qualitative analysis of solutions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, at present chemotaxis models incorporating boundary conditions that generate inward fluxes have only been studied in two recent papers, and we believe that this topic deserves and it may attract further mathematical attention. In this sense, in the present paper we investigate a two-species chemotaxis system with positive total flux. The model consists of two interacting populations, $u$ and $w$, coupled through elliptic/parabolic chemical signals $v$ and $z$, and subject to Robin-type boundary conditions allowing inward fluxes that depend on the product of the cellular and chemical densities. Unlike the classical conservative setting, the total mass is not preserved and it exhibits quadratic growth in time, exactly in line with one of the investigations above mentioned and dealing with a single-species taxis model. We show that, within the considered framework, standard logistic damping is not sufficient to compensate for the mass increase induced by the positive boundary flux. To restore control of the dynamics, stronger dissipative mechanisms involving gradient-dependent damping terms are required. Under suitable assumptions, we establish the global existence and boundedness of classical solutions in the presence of logistic-gradient damping.

A linear test approach to global controllability of third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations

We investigate third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations of KdV type on the torus and establishes approximate controllability by a fixed four-dimensional control; rather than relying solely on the saturation machinery, the analysis exploits the finite-dimensional controllability of the inviscid Burgers equation linearized around a carefully constructed return trajectory, with the trajectory itself obtained from an observable family. This ``linear test" strategy, yields more information about the structure of the control than the standard approach. In particular, the constructed control is shown to depend continuously on the initial and target states, a property that is by no means automatic in nonlinear control problems, and to decompose as a bounded linear operator applied to the data plus a fixed remainder, with the operator part interestingly independent of the order of dispersion.

A conditional Lagrangian clock barrier at the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold for axisymmetric Euler without swirl

We consider axisymmetric no-swirl solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations, with initial velocity in $C^{1,α}\cap L^2$, where $α\in\left[\frac{1}{3},1\right)$. In a major breakthrough, Shkoller introduced a clock-and-driver framework that he used in order to prove finite-time type I blow-up below the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold in this setting. Motivated by this, we define Lagrangian classes of coherent conditional solutions for which the same mechanism yields a supercritical-critical barrier to blow-up when $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. When $α>\frac{1}{3}$, the aforementioned barrier is genuinely depleted, whereas at the critical endpoint $α=\frac{1}{3}$, we obtain an exponential bound preventing blow-up. In the general case, we formulate a matrix-clock criterion in terms of the smallest singular value of the deformation gradient and show that, under transverse cusp-tail, longitudinal, off-clock, Dini, and suitable geometric coherence hypotheses, this singular value cannot collapse in finite time. In particular, we also show that the class of such coherent solutions includes the smooth ones locally in time. In the on-axis case, the criterion reduces to the scalar clock inequality $\displaystyle \dot{J}(t)\gtrsim -B(t)J(t)-CJ(t)^{3α}$, which rules out Shkoller-type clock collapse for $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. These results do not enlarge the known Lorentz-space global regularity classes. Rather, they in particular identify the supercritical Lagrangian obstruction dual to Shkoller's subcritical blow-up mechanism in the case $α>\frac{1}{3}$.
