The Keller Segel (KS) model for chemotaxis is a two-dimensional system of parabolic or elliptic PDEs. Motivated by the study of the fully parabolic model using probabilistic methods, we give rise to a non-linear SDE of McKean-Vlasov type with a highly non standard and singular interaction kernel.
In this talk I will briefly introduce the KS model, point out some of the PDE analysis results related to the model and then, in detail, analyze our probabilistic interpretation in the case d=1.
This is a joint work with Denis Talay (TOSCA team, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Mediterranee).
