English abstract:
The existence of weak solutions and upper bounds for the blow-up time for time-discrete parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel models for chemotaxis in the two-dimensional whole space are proved. For various time discretizations, including the implicit Euler, BDF, and Runge-Kutta methods, the same bounds for the blow-up time as in the contin-uous case are derived by discrete versions of the virial argument. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations using an upwind finite-element method combined with second-order time discretizations.
Keywords:
Time discretization, chemotaxis, finite-time blow-up of solutions, existence of weak solutions, higher-order schemes, BDF scheme, Runge-Kutta scheme.
