Abstract: We consider the initial-boundary value problem of a system of reaction-diffusion equations with density-dependent motility �egin{equation*}label{e1} ag{

a s t

} �egin{cases} u_t=Delta(gamma(v)u)+alpha u F(w) - heta u, &xin Omega, ~~t>0,\ v_t=DDelta v+u-v,& xin Omega, ~~t>0,\ w_t=Delta w-uF(w),& xin Omega, ~~t>0, frac{partial u}{partial

u}=frac{partial v}{partial u}= frac{partial w}{partial

u}=0,&xin partialOmega, ~~t>0,\ (u,v,w)(x,0)=(u_0,v_0,w_0)(x), & xinOmega, end{cases} end{equation*} in a bounded domain

O m e g a s u b s e t R^{2}

with smooth boundary,

a l p h a

and

h e t a

are non-negative constants and

u

denotes the outward normal vector of

p a r t i a l O m e g a

. The random motility function

g a m m a (v)

and functional response function

F (w)

satisfy the following assumptions: �egin{itemize} item

g a m m a (v) i n C^{3} ([0, i n f t y)), 0 < g a m m a_{1} l e q g a m m a (v) l e q g a m m a_{2}, | g a m m a^{'} (v) | l e q e t a

for all

v g e q 0

; item

F (w) i n C^{1} ([0, i n f t y)), F (0) = 0, F (w) > 0 m a t h r m i n (0, i n f t y) m a t h r m a n d F^{'} (w) > 0 m a t h r m o n [0, i n f t y)

end{itemize} for some positive constants

g a m m a_{1}, g a m m a_{2}

and

e t a

. Based on the method of weighted energy estimates and Moser iteration, we prove that the problem eqref{e1} has a unique classical global solution uniformly bounded in time. Furthermore we show that if

h e t a > 0

, the solution

(u, v, w)

will converge to

(0, 0, w_{*})

in

L^{i} n f t y

with some

w_{*} > 0

as time tends to infinity, while if

h e t a = 0

, the solution

(u, v, w)

will asymptotically converge to

(u_{*}, u_{*}, 0)

in

L^{i} n f t y

with

u_{*} = f r a c 1 | O m e g a | (| u_{0} |_{L^{1}} + a l p h a | w_{0} |_{L^{1}})

if

D > 0

is suitably large.

Review text

The authors consider an initial-boundary value problem of a system of reaction-diffusion equations with density dependent motility in a bounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with smooth boundary. Under suitable regularity and structural assumptions on the random motility function and the functional response function, the authors prove that this problem has a unique classical global solution uniformly bounded in time. To get this result, the classical energy estimates and Moser iteration methods are used. Lastly the asymptotic behaviour of the solution is considered.
