Interface Dynamics in a Two-phase Tumor Growth Model

Speaker: TONG Jiajun, Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor,UCLA

Venue: Room 314, Ouyangchunmei Buiding, Yuquan Campus

Abstract: 

We study a two-phase tumor growth model in two space dimensions, where proliferation of the tumor cells leads to expansion of the tumor domain and migration of surrounding normal cells into the exterior vacuum. Instead of considering evolution of cell densities, our focus will be on the dynamics of two moving interfaces in the model that separate the tumor, the normal tissue, and the exterior vacuum. We will discuss well-posedness results on the interface evolution starting from a nearly radial initial configuration, under an assumption which is in line with the well-known Rayleigh-Taylor condition. We will briefly discuss possible ill-posedness scenarios when these conditions are violated, as well as implications of our results on further analysis of the tumor growth models. This is joint work with Inwon Kim.
