Streszczenie
We consider a nonlinear parabolic system modelling chemotaxis $$ u_t = \nabla\cdot(\nabla u - u\nabla v), \quad v_t = \Delta v + u $$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$, $t > 0$. We first prove the existence of time-global solutions, including self-similar solutions, for small initial data, and then show the asymptotically self-similar behavior for a class of general solutions.
