Abstract: In this paper, we consider global existence of classical solutions to the following kinetic model of pattern formation �egin{equation} �egin{cases} u_t=Delta (gamma (v)u)+mu u(1-u) -Delta v+v=u end{cases} qquad (0.1) end{equation}in a smooth bounded domain OmegasubsetmathbbRn, ngeq1 with no-flux boundary conditions. Here, mugeq0 is any given constant. The function gamma(cdot) represents a signal-dependent diffusion motility and is decreasing in v which models a density-suppressed motility in process of stripe pattern formation through self-trapping mechanism [8,20]. The major difficulty in analysis lies in the possible degeneracy of diffusion as vearrow+infty. In the present contribution, based on a subtle observation of the nonlinear structure, we develop a new method to rule out finite-time degeneracy in any spatial dimension for all smooth motility function satisfying gamma(v)>0 and gamma(v)leq0 for vgeq0. Then we prove global existence of classical solution for (0.1) in the two-dimensional setting with any mugeq0. Moreover, the global solution is proven to be uniform-in-time bounded if either 1/gamma satisfies certain polynomial growth condition or mu>0. Besides, we pay particular attention to the specific case gamma(v)=ev with mu=0. A novel critical phenomenon in the two-dimensional setting is observed where blowup takes place in infinite time rather than finite time in our model.
