We study the forward self-similar solutions to a parabolic system modeling chemotaxisin the whole space R 2 ; where t is a positive constant. Using the Liouville-type result and the method of moving planes, it is proved that self-similar solutions ðu; vÞ must be radially symmetric about the origin. Then the structure of the set of selfsimilar solutions is investigated. As a consequence, it is shown that there exists a threshold in R
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
