The simplified Keller-Segel model: Lie symmetries, plane wave exact solutions, linearization and Cauchy problem

Abstract:
Lie symmetries of a simplified Keller-Segel system are found and applied for construction of exact solutions. Several families of such solutions in an explicit form are found, their properties examined and possible applicability for chemotaxis modeling is discussed. Linearization of the system and its Cauchy problem solution are presented.
