Abstract
Our aim in this paper is to prove the existence of solutions for a model for the proliferative-to-invasive transition of hypoxic glioma cells. The equations consist of the coupling of a reaction-diffusion equation for the tumor density and of a Cahn–Hilliard type equation for the oxygen concentration. The main difficulty is to prove the existence of a biologically relevant solution. This is achieved by considering a modified equation and taking a logarithmic nonlinear term in the Cahn–Hilliard equation.
