Classical solutions to a logistic chemotaxis model with singular sensitivity and signal absorption (Q1729238): Difference between revisions

The authors prove the global in time existence to a model of chemotaxis with singular sensitivity function and logistic reaction term described by the equations \[ u_t=\Delta u -\chi\nabla\cdot(\frac{u}{v}\nabla v)+f(u), \] \[ v_t=\Delta v -uv, \] with \(f(u)\leq \kappa u-\mu u^2\), in a bounded domain of \(\mathbb R^n\). These results are valid under the assumptions: \(0<\chi<\sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}\), \(\kappa\geq 0\), and \(\mu>\frac{n-2}{2n}\) if \(n\geq 2\), and for any \(\chi>0\), \(\kappa \geq 0\) and \(\mu>0\) if \(n=1\), the latter case is leading also to the uniform boundedness of solutions.
