Asymptotic stability in a fully parabolic quasilinear chemotaxis model with general logistic source and signal production (Q2304445): Difference between revisions

In this paper the authors study the asymptotic behaviors of global solutions to the fully parabolic chemotaxis system: \begin{align*} u_t &=\nabla \cdot(D(u)\nabla u-S(u)\nabla v)+ru-\mu u^{1+ \sigma} ,\\ v_t &= \Delta v- v +u^\gamma, \end{align*} subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain \(\Omega\) contained in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with \(n \geq 2\), where parameters \(\mu, \sigma, \gamma > 0\), \(r \in \mathbb{R}\), and the nonlinearity \( D, S \in C^2([0,\infty))\) are supposed to generalize the prototypes \[ D(u) \geq a_0(u + 1)^{-\alpha}, \quad 0 \leq S(u) \leq b_0u(u + 1)^{\beta-1} \] with \(a_0\), \(b_0 > 0\) and \(\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}\). The authors first consider the case of \(r > 0\) and get a boundedness result under suitable assumptions on the parameters. Then they prove the asymptotic stability when damping effects of logistic source are strong enough. Specifically, there is \(\mu_0 > 0\) independent of initial data, such that the bounded classical solution \((u, v)\) satisfies \[ (u, v) \rightarrow \big( \big( r/\mu\big)^{\frac{1}{\sigma}}, \big( r/\mu\big)^{\frac{\gamma}{\sigma}}\big) \] in \(L^\infty(\Omega)\) exponentially under conditions of \(\mu > \mu_0\) and \(r > 0\). For the case of \( r < 0\), the trivial constant equilibria in the model is obtained in a priori way, regardless of the size of \(\mu > 0\).
