Optimal control for a fourth-order nonisothermal tumor growth model of Caginalp type
Giulia Cavalleri, Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca
We study a distributed optimal control problem for a nonisothermal Caginalp-type phase-field model that describes tumour growth under thermal therapy. The PDE system couples a poss…
Optimal control of a tumor growth model with hyperbolic relaxation of the chemical potential
Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca, Jürgen Sprekels
In this paper, we study the optimal control of a phase field model for a tumor growth model of Cahn--Hilliard type in which the often assumed parabolic relaxation of the chemical p…
On the hyperbolic relaxation of the chemical potential in a phase field tumor growth model
Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca, Jürgen Sprekels
In this paper, we study a phase field model for a tumor growth model of Cahn--Hilliard type in which the often assumed parabolic relaxation of the chemical potential is replaced by…
Well-posedness for a fourth-order nonisothermal tumor growth model of Caginalp type
Giulia Cavalleri, Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca
We introduce a nonisothermal phase-field system of Caginalp type that describes tumor growth under hyperthermia. The model couples a possibly viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation, govern…
Chemotaxis-inspired PDE model for airborne infectious disease transmission: analysis and simulations
Pierluigi Colli, Gabriela Marinoschi, Elisabetta Rocca +1
Partial differential equation (PDE) models for infectious disease have received renewed interest in recent years. Most models of this type extend classical compartmental formulatio…
On a Brain Tumor Growth Model with Lactate Metabolism, Viscoelastic Effects, and Tissue Damage
Giulia Cavalleri, Pierluigi Colli, Alain Miranville +1
In this paper, we study a nonlinearly coupled initial-boundary value problem describing the evolution of brain tumor growth including lactate metabolism. In our modeling approach,…
