Role of Non-Exponential Reversal times in Aggregation Models of Bacterial Populations
Michael Batista, Patrick Murphy, Oleg A. Igoshin +2
In this paper, we consider 1D agent-based and kinetic models of aggregation with reversals. In particular, we fit a Gamma distribution to represent the run times in myxobacteria an…

Existence of weak solutions for the kinetic models of motion of myxobacteria with alignment and reversals
Patrick Murphy, Oleg Igoshin, Misha Perepelitsa +1
In this paper, we consider three non-linear kinetic partial differential equations that emerge in the modeling of motion of rod-shaped cells such as myxobacteria. This motion is ch…
