Abstract

This article concerns traveling wave solutions of the fully parabolic Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with logistic source, $$\displaylines{ u_t=\Delta u -\chi\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)+u(a-bu),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\cr \tau v_t=\Delta v-\lambda v +\mu u,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, }$$ where $\chi, \mu,\lambda,a,b$ are positive numbers, and $\tau\ge 0$. Among others, it is proved that if $b>2\chi\mu$ and $\tau \geq \frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{\lambda}{a})_{+}$, then for every $c\ge 2\sqrt{a}$, this system has a traveling wave solution $(u,v)(t,x)=(U^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct),V^{\tau,c}(x\cdot\xi-ct))$ (for all $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^N $) connecting the two constant steady states $(0,0)$ and $(\frac{a}{b},\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\frac{a}{b})$, and there is no such solutions with speed $c$ less than $2\sqrt{a}$, which improves the results established in [30] and shows that this system has a minimal wave speed $c_0^*=2\sqrt a$, which is independent of the chemotaxis.
