Research Abstract |
In 1998 we devised a discretization scheme for the chemotactic equations which is based on the finite element methods and the Runge-Kutta methods, and proved theoretically stability of the scheme and convergence of the approximate solution. In the proof, notions of the discrete semigroup and discrete evolution operator were newly introduced to describe the approximate solutions precisely. In 1999 we set up algorithm for calculations by the scheme devised. If one uses usual algorithm for some finite element method, enormous memories of machine are needed. So in this research we made some device that we exchange components of the matrix in a suitable way in order to condense a size of the band of the matrix. By this the spatial variable can be divided into 8192 in the one dimensional case, and into 256 in the two dimensional case. Using this algorithm we performed numerical calculations for the chemotactic equations. As the results, the following two things were clarified mainly on the global behavior of solutions. With the forms of the sensitive function included in the equations the pattern of cellular mold obtained from the solution changes substantially. For the chemotactic equations having the growing term the desired types of patterns of mold, that is concentric circles and ramifications, are really observed in the solutions of the equations.
