  • The dynamics are studied for the Keller-Segel's minimal chemotaxis model

    $τ u_t=(u_x-kuv_x)_x, \ \ \ \ v_t=v_{xx}-v+u$

    on a bounded interval with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, where $\tau\geqslant 0$ and $k\gg 1$ are parameters and the total mass of $u$ is scaled to be one. In general, the dynamics can be divided into three stages: the first stage is very short in which $u$ quickly becomes a delta like function with mass concentrated near the point of global maximum of $v$; in the second stage, the point of the global maximum of $v$ drifts towards the boundary of the domain and reaches it at the end of the second stage; in the third stage, the profile of the solution evolves to a steady state profile. This paper considers a special case in which the relaxation parameter $\tau$ is set to be zero, so the first stage takes no time. A free boundary problem describing the second stage is presented. Rigorous asymptotic behavior is proven for the third stage evolution.
