Logistic type attraction-repulsion chemotaxis systems with a free boundary or unbounded boundary. II. Spreading-vanishing dichotomy in a domain with a free boundary

The current series of research papers is to investigate the asymptotic dynamics in logistic type chemotaxis models in one space dimension with a free boundary or unbounded boundary. Such a model with a free boundary describes the spreading of a new or invasive species subject to the influence of some chemical substances in an environment with a free boundary representing the spreading front. In this first of the series, we investigated the dynamical behaviors of logistic type chemotaxis models on the half line $\mathbb{R}^+$, which are formally corresponding limit systems of the free boundary problems. In the second of the series, we establish the spreading-vanishing dichotomy in chemoattraction-repulsion systems with a free boundary as well as with double free boundaries.
