Abstract

Lower bounds for the finite-time blow-up of solutions of a cancer invasion model

Highlights

  • Cancer is the most threatening disease to the society due its mortality rate among affected patients

  • In the past few years, many works presented for the acid-mediated invasion hypothesis and it is proposing that tumour acidification confers an advantage to the tumor cells by producing a harsh environment

  • Partial differential equation (PDE) have been used for many cancer invasion mathematical models, for example, see [2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 24–28] and the references therein

Summary

Introduction

Cancer is the most threatening disease to the society due its mortality rate among affected patients. This paper investigate the properties of non-negative solutions of the following nonlinear coupled cancer invasion mathematical model in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ RN, N = 2, 3 : ut − d1∆u = μu(1 − u − v) vt = −kvw + ρv(1 − u − v) wt − d2∆w = ζu(1 − w) − νw in Ω × (0, I), in Ω × (0, I),. The decay and growth rates of MDEs are respectively modeled by νw and ζu(1 − w), where ν, ζ are positive constants. In line with these motivations, in this work, we estimate the lower bounds for the finite time blow-up of solutions in RN, N = 2, 3 with Neumann and Robin type boundary conditions for cancer invasion reaction-diffusion system (1.1) using first-order differential inequality techniques.
