Lipschitz stability for Bayesian inference in porous medium tissue growth models
Abstract
We consider a macroscopic model for the dynamics of living tissues incorporating pressure-driven dispersal and pressure-modulated proliferation. Given a power-law constitutive relation between the pressure and cell density, the model can be written as a porous medium equation with a growth term. We prove Lipschitz continuity of the mild solutions of the model with respect to the diffusion parameter (the exponent $\gamma$ in the pressure-density law) in the $L_1$ norm. While of independent analytical interest, our motivation for this result is to provide a vital step towards using Bayesian inverse problem methodology for parameter estimation based on experimental data -- such stability estimates are indispensable for applying sampling algorithms which rely on the gradient of the likelihood function.
