The vanishing viscosity limit on a model of Kareiva-Odell type in 2D (Q6139067)

In this paper, the authors invoked the idea of vanishing viscosity limit to bridge the strong solutions of two models in 2D case, i.e., a model of Kareiva-Odell type, in which predators have a remarkable tendency of moving towards diffusible prey, and a model of Stevens-Othmer type, where a species has an oriented movement toward a nondiffusing signal. In more detail, they first gave in \(L^{\infty}(\Omega)\) a uniform-in-\(\varepsilon\) upper bound of the unique (for each fixed diffusion coefficient \(\varepsilon\) of prey) classical solution of a model of Kareiva-Odell type for any \(\varepsilon\in(0,1)\). Then they made \(L^p\) estimates on the classical solutions to derive a quantitative description in the sense of strong solution. Via the estimates made for the Kareiva-Odell type model, they used Aubin-Lions lemma to show a convergence as \(\varepsilon\rightarrow0\). Finally, they found that the limit of this convergence is a strong solution and also a unique classical solution of a corresponding Stevens-Othmer type model. The proof of the main results utilizes various tools from prior literature on simpler systems, but it also contains several original ideas that have been meticulously developed, particularly in the arguments presented in Section 3--Section 7. Moreover, the analysis is very solid.
