Title: On a diffuse interface model for tumour growth with non-local interactions and degenerate mobilities,
Abstract: We study a non-local variant of a diffuse interface model proposed by
Hawkins--Darrud et al. (2012) for tumour growth in the presence of a chemical
species acting as nutrient. The system consists of a Cahn--Hilliard equation
coupled to a reaction-diffusion equation. For non-degenerate mobilities and
smooth potentials, we derive well-posedness results, which are the non-local
analogue of those obtained in Frigeri et al. (European J. Appl. Math. 2015).
Furthermore, we establish existence of weak solutions for the case of
degenerate mobilities and singular potentials, which serves to confine the
order parameter to its physically relevant interval. Due to the non-local
nature of the equations, under additional assumptions continuous dependence on
initial data can also be shown.
