Abstract

In this paper, we study a gang territorial model consisting of two parabolic and two ordinary differential equations, where a taxis-type mechanism models that the two rivaling gangs are repelled by each other's graffiti. Our main analytical finding shows the existence of global, bounded classical solutions. By making use of quantitative global estimates, we prove that these solutions converge to homogeneous steady states if the initial data are sufficiently small. Moreover, we perform numerical experiments which show that for different choices of parameters, the system may become diffusion- or convection-dominated, where in the former case the solutions converge toward constant steady states while in the latter case nontrivial asymptotic behavior such as segregation is observed. In order to perform these experiments, we apply a nonlinear finite element flux-corrected transport method (FEM-FCT) which is positivity-preserving. Then we treat the nonlinearities in both the system and the proposed nonlinear scheme simultaneously using fixed-point iteration.
