Abstract

We consider a Hele--Shaw-type tumor growth model obtained from the incompressible limit of a porous-medium equation. The limiting model preserves the patch structure of the tumor density and therefore admits a single free-boundary formulation. We investigate how a pressure-feedback parameter associated with the homeostatic pressure affects boundary stability. Using asymptotic analysis, we study boundary perturbations of finite-radius tumors and planar traveling fronts and derive the corresponding stability criteria. For planar fronts, the stability thresholds are further shown to be bifurcation points from which nonsymmetric traveling waves emerge. Our results indicate that pressure feedback can induce boundary instability in parameter regimes where the model without pressure feedback remains stable.
