This paper investigates a free boundary problem focused on the growth dynamics of vascularized tumors, incorporating time delays and the impact of inhibitors. Unlike existing vascularized tumor models with inhibitors, our model contains time delays, which represent the intrinsic delays of cell proliferation. The substance exchange between the vascularized tumor and its surrounding vascular network is represented by the Robin boundary. The problem comprises a system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations that characterizes the nutrient concentration u(r, t) and the inhibitor concentration v(r, t), together with an ordinary differential equation representing the tumor radius R(t). Firstly, it is shown that the model possesses at least one steady-state solution under certain sufficient conditions. Next, we demonstrate that the quasi-steady state system possesses a non-negative solution and analyze its stability. Finally, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the global classical solution and further analyze the asymptotic stability of the steady-state solution. Our results demonstrate that time delays in cell proliferation do not change the overall evolution trend of the tumor, but only slow the tumor growth process.
In this paper, we study a free boundary problem of tumor growth with necrotic core. The model is a parabolic-hyperbolic partial differential equations, which is composed of three first-order nonlinear hyperbolic equations, a parabolic equation and an ordinary differential equation. First, we obtained the approximation model by polishing the Heaviside function, and then proved the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the approximation model. In addition, we improved the regularity of solution of the approximate problem by using the characteristic curves method, and finally proved the global existence of the weak solution of the original problem by the convergence.
This paper investigates a free boundary tumor model with timedependent in the presence of inhibitors. The model consists of two diffusion equations representing nutrients and inhibitors respectively, and an ordinary differential equation describing the radius of the tumor R(t). We know that angiogenesis is not a steady-state process, in general, it changes over time, so it is reasonable to assume that tumors stimulate angiogenesis at a rate proportional to alpha(t). We find the properties of the tumor radius R(t) is greatly tied to the properties of alpha(t). When alpha (t) is time-dependent, we prove that for any sufficiently small c(1): If alpha(t) remains uniformly bounded, then R(t) also remains uniformly bounded; If alpha(t) tends to zero as t ->infinity, so does the tumor radius R(t); If lim(t ->infinity) inf alpha (t) > 0, then lim(t ->infinity) inf R (t) > 0. Moreover, the global asymptotic stability of the steady-state solution is proved, and it is surprising to find that when u +v over bar is sufficiently small and lambda/mu u over bar < c(1) <= c(2), the solution will blow up.
In this paper, we research the issue of the free boundary of vascularized tumor growth using a T-periodic supply ψ(t) of outside nutrients and inhibitors. The model consists of two reaction diffusion equations, an elliptic equation and an ordinary differential equation. The reaction diffusion equations describe the nutrient and inhibitor concentrations. The internal pressure distribution is described by the elliptic equation. The ODE describes the boundary value condition of the tumor model. After some meticulous mathematical analysis of the model system, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the radially symmetric T-periodic positive solution with u˜≤min0≤t≤Tψ(t), where u˜ is a parameter, denoting a threshold concentration for proliferation. Next, we further demonstrate the existence of a μ⁎>0 such that (u⁎(r,t),v⁎(r,t),p⁎(r,t),R⁎(t)) is linearly stable for μ<μ⁎ and linearly unstable for μ>μ⁎ under perturbations that are not radially symmetric, where μ is a constant, representing the "intensity" of mitosis-induced cell growth.

In this paper, we study the linear stability of the free boundary problem for tumors. The model is a coupled system of PDE with Robin boundary, which involves concentration of nutrients, concentration of inhibitor and pressure. The presence of inhibitor in this model affects the diffusion of nutrient. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the radially-symmetric solution (us,vs,ps,Rs). We further prove that there exists a threshold value μ⁎ such that (us,vs,ps,Rs) is linearly stable under non-radially symmetric perturbations for μ∈(0,μ⁎) and linearly unstable for μ>μ⁎.
In this paper, we study a time-delayed free boundary of tumor growth with Gibbs-Thomson relation in the presence of inhibitors. The model consists of two reaction diffusion equations and an ordinary differential equation. The reaction diffusion equations describe the nutrient and inhibitor diffusion within tumors and take into account the Gibbs-Thomson relation at the outer boundary of the tumor. The tumor radius evolution is described by the ordinary differential equation. It is assumed that the regulatory apoptosis process takes longer than the natural apoptosis and proliferation processes. We first show the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the model. Next, we further demonstrate the existence of the stationary solutions and the asymptotic behavior of the stationary solutions when the blood vessel density is a constant. Finally, we further demonstrate the existence of the stationary solutions and the asymptotic behavior of the stationary solutions when the blood vessel density is bounded. The result implies that, under certain conditions, the tumor will probably become dormant or will finally disappear. The conclusions are illustrated by numerical computations.
In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for vascularized tumor growth with a time delay in the process of tumor regulating apoptosis. The characteristic of this model is that both vascularization and apoptosis regulation is considered. In mathematical form, this model is expressed as a free boundary problem with Robin boundary. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the global solution and their asymptotic behavior. The effects of vascularization parameters and apoptosis regulation parameters on tumor are discussed. Depending on the importance of regulating the apoptosis rate, the tumor will tend to the unique steady state or eventually disappear. For some parameter values, the final results show that the dynamic behavior of the solutions of our model is analogous to the quasi-stationary solutions. Our results are also verified by numerical simulation.
In this paper, we study the parabolic–hyperbolic system about the growth of a tumor. The model is a coupled system of PDEs with Robin boundary, which involves nutrient density, extracellular matrix and matrix degrading enzyme. By transforming the free boundary into a fixed boundary and using strict mathematical analysis, we can prove the existence and uniqueness of the radially symmetric stationary solution. By the fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the radially symmetric solution globally in time.
