摘要
We consider the Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis with a nonlinear diffusion coefficent and a singular sensitivity function. We show the existence of travelling waves for wave speeds above a critical value, and establish local well posedness in exponentially weighted spaces in a neighbourhood of a wave. A part of the essential spectrum of the linearization, which has unbounded coefficients on one half-axis, is determined. Generalizing the principle of linearized instability without spectral gap to fully nonlinear parabolic problems, we obtain nonlinear instability of the waves in certain cases.
