Abstract:Abstract. The aim of this paper is to investigate Green's function for parabolic and elliptic systems satisfying a possibly nonlocal Robin-type boundary condition. We construct Green's function for parabolic systems with time-dependent coefficients satisfying a possibly nonlocal Robin-type boundary condition assuming that weak solutions of the system are locally H ölder continuous in the interior of the domain, and as a corollary we construct Green's function for elliptic system with a Robin-type condition.

“…which follow from the uniform bounds established in [5]. We define ρ n (x) = ´Ω η n (x − y)ρ(y) dy where η n (x) = n d ωn χ B 1/n (x) and ϕ n (x) = ´Ω G(x, y)ρ n (y) dy.…”
We consider a model of congestion dynamics with chemotaxis: the density of cells follows a chemical signal it generates, while subject to an incompressibility constraint. The incompressibility constraint results in the formation of patches, describing regions where the maximal density has been reached. The dynamics of these patches can be described by either Hele-Shaw or Richards equation type flow (depending on whether we consider the model with diffusion or the model with pure advection). Our focus in this paper is on the construction of weak solutions for this problem via a variational discrete time scheme of JKO type. We also establish the uniqueness of these solutions. In addition, we make more rigorous the connection between this incompressible chemotaxis model and the free boundary problems describing the motion of the patches in terms of the density and associated pressure variable. In particular, we obtain new results characterising the pressure variable as the solution of an obstacle problem and prove that in the pure advection case the dynamic preserves patches.

“…For another approach, we refer to Dong-Kim [17], where they constructed Green functions for the elliptic systems by using heat kernel estimates, the argument in which requires first establishing pointwise bounds for the heat kernels. See also [3,10,12] and the references therein for work in this direction. Lastly, we would like to mention two papers [28,27] on the Green functions for the mixed problems in two dimensions.…”
