| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to understand a variety of phenomena arising in nature and society, mathematical models which describes the phenomena are proposed, and analysis of the model reveals the mechanisms which the complex phenomena originate in. In this study, we treat spatially spontaneous pattern formation produced by biological species. Among them, we focus on a chemotaxis-growth system which describes aggregation pattern formation of biological species which aggregates by using a chemical substance as a signal. Combining theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we revealed global structure of stationary solutions of the chemotaxis-growth system, which correspond to aggregation patterns. In addition, we revealed a relation between growth terms including the chemotaxis-growht system and patterns.
