Abstract: We discuss kinetic and associated macroscopic models for chemotaxis on a network. Coupling conditions at the nodes of the network for the kinetic prob- lem are presented and used to derive coupling conditions for the macroscopic approximations. The results of the different models are compared and relations to a Keller-Segel model on networks are discussed. For a numerical approxima- tion of the governing equations asymptotic preserving relaxation schemes are extended to directed graphs. Kinetic and macroscopic equations are investi- gated numerically and their solutions are compared for tripod and more general networks. Coupling of network problem with 2D equations is discussed as well.
