Global existence of unique solutions to equations for pattern formation in active mixtures

In this paper, we deal with two models for pattern formation in active system on the d-dimensional torus Td = [-pi, pi]d, d >= 2, with the periodic boundary conditions. (1) We first consider the model in (Lee and Kardar, 2001) describing the density and the tubule orientation field. After perturbing the orientation field around (1,0), we show that there is a unique global-in-time solution to the perturbed model when initial data is sufficiently small in the energy space H-2. (2) The second model under consideration is Active model C in (Maryshev et al., 2020). In this case, we per-turb the density around 12, which generates a damping term, and we prove that there is a unique global-in -time solution when initial data is sufficiently small in Wiener space A(0). Although these two models are treated in different ways, both models are presented in this paper from the per-spective of dealing with pattern formation phenomenon.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Automated summary

This paper investigates two models for pattern formation in active systems on a d-dimensional torus. The first model focuses on the density and tubule orientation field, while the second model considers the Active model C. Unique global-in-time solutions are proven for both models when the initial data is sufficiently small.
