Abstract:
We study the singular limit of an advection-reaction-degenerate-diffusion equation which appear in a chemotaxis model. We prove the convergence to the solution of a free boundary problem where the motion equation of the interface involve the gradient of the chemotactic concentration and the critical velocity of a degenerate Fisher equation.
