BOUNDEDNESS OF THE HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL QUASILINEAR CHEMOTAXIS SYSTEM WITH GENERALIZED LOGISTIC SOURCE

This article considers the following higher-dimensional quasilinear parabolic-parabolic-ODE chemotaxis system with generalized Logistic source and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions{ut=∇⋅(D(u)∇u)−∇⋅(S(u)∇v)+f(u),x∈Ω,t>0 vt=Δv+w−v,x∈Ω,t>0,wt=u−w,x∈Ω,t>0,in a bounded domainΩ⊂R^n(n≥2)with smooth boundary ∂Ω,where the diffusion coefficient D(u)and the chemotactic sensitivity function S(u)are supposed to satisfy D(u)≥M1(u+1)^−αand S(u)≤M2(u+1)^β,respectively,where M1,M2>0 and α,β∈R.Moreover,the logistic source f(u)is supposed to satisfy f(u)≤a−μu^γ with μ>0,γ≥1,and a≥0.Asα+2β<γ−1+2γ/n,we show that the solution of the above chemotaxis system with sufficiently smooth nonnegative initial data is uniformly bounded.
