GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF A TUMOR ANGIOGENESIS MODEL WITH CHEMOTAXIS AND HAPTOTAXIS

We consider a system of differential equations modeling tumor angiogenesis. The system consists of three equations: two parabolic equations with chemotactic terms to model endothelial cells and tumor angiogenesis factors coupled to an ordinary differential equation which describes the evolution of the fibronectin concentration. We study global existence of solutions and, under extra assumption on the initial data of the fibronectin concentration we obtain that the homogeneous steady state is asymptotically stable.
