null (Ed.)We consider a hyperbolic–parabolic system arising from a chemotaxis model in tumor angiogenesis, which is described by a Keller–Segel equation with singular sensitivity. It is known to allow viscous shocks (so-called traveling waves). We introduce a relative entropy of the system, which can capture how close a solution at a given time is to a given shock wave in almost [Formula: see text]-sense. When the shock strength is small enough, we show the functional is non-increasing in time for any large initial perturbation. The contraction property holds independently of the strength of the diffusion.more » « less
