Analysis of a nonlocal and nonlinear system for cell-cell communication. (English) Zbl 07925612

Summary: We consider a system of two nonlocal and nonlinear partial differential equations that describe some aspects of yeast cell-cell communication. We study local and global existence and uniqueness of solutions. We consider mild solutions and we perform bilinear and trilinear fixed point arguments in suitable functional spaces.
