Abstract: We study a Keller-Segel type chemotaxis model with a modified sensitivity function in a bounded domain OmegasubsetmathbbRN, Ngeq2. The global existence of classical solutions to the fully parabolic system is established provided that the ratio of the chemotactic coefficient to the motility of cells is not too large.


The parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel model with the logarithmic sensitivity function \(\log(v+c)\), \(c>0\), \[ u_t=\nabla\cdot(\nabla u-\chi\frac{u}{v+c}\nabla v), \] \[ v_t=k\Delta v-\alpha v+\beta u, \] is studied in bounded domains in \({\mathbb R}^N\). The global existence of classical solutions to this system in time is established, provided that the ratio of the chemotactic coefficient \(\chi\) to the motility of cells and \(k\) is not too large.
