Boundedness of solutions in a fully parabolic quasilinear chemotaxis model with two species and two chemicals (Q2119700)

This paper considers a fully parabolic quasilinear chemotaxis model with two species and two chemicals: \[ \begin{cases} u_t= \nabla \cdot \left(D(u)\nabla u\right)-\nabla \cdot \left( S(u)\nabla v\right)+ f(u), & x \in \Omega, \, t>0,\\ v_t= \Delta v- v+g(w), & x \in \Omega, \, t>0,\\ w_t=\nabla \cdot \left(\tilde{D}(w)\nabla w\right)-\nabla \cdot \left( \tilde{S}(w)\nabla z\right)+ \tilde{f}(w), & x \in \Omega, \, t>0,\\ z_t=\Delta z-z+ \tilde{g}(u), & x \in \Omega, \, t>0,\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial \nu}=\frac{\partial w}{\partial \nu}=\frac{\partial z}{\partial \nu}=0, & x \in \partial \Omega, \, t>0,\\ (u,v,w,z)(x,0)= (u_0(x),v_0(x),w_0(x),z_0(x)), & x \in \Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n (n\geq2)\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary \(\partial \Omega\), and some appropriate conditions for nonlinear functions \(D, S, \tilde{D}, \tilde{S}, f, g, \tilde{f}, \tilde{g}\). The main contribution of this paper is to investigate the strong logistic damping effect to the global existence of solutions. The authors obtained the global existence of solutions with no growth source, nonlinear diffusivity, chemotactic sensitivity and signal production, and further showed that strong logistic damping effect warrants the global existence of solutions. The proof of the theorem is delicate and seems to be right. This paper improves the result of \textit{X. Tao} et al. [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 474, No. 1, 733--747 (2019; Zbl 1483.35111)] on the global existence of solutions to two species chemotaxis system with two chemicals by creating an extra subtle inequality. This is a great work. The paper is well organized with a complete list of relevant references. The presentation of the paper is very clear. However, the large-time behavior of solutions to two species chemotaxis system with two chemicals is unknown.
