摘要
We investigate mathematically the system of equations proposed by Chaplain and Stuart [2], to describe the chemotactic response of endothelial cells under the angiogenesis stimulus. In particular, we characterize the steady state endothelial cell density function, and give conditions on the chemotactic parameter Ic and cell proliferation parameter b that ensure that migration/ proliferation either does or does not occur in steady state. The time dependent problem is also treated.
