Eventual smoothness and asymptotics in a three-dimensional chemotaxis system with logistic source

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove existence of global weak solutions to the chemotaxis system ut=Δu−∇⋅(u∇v)+κu−μu2 u_t=Δu - \nabla\cdot (u\nabla v) +κu -μu^2 vt=Δv−v+u v_t=Δv-v+u under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded convex domain Ω⊂RnΩ\subset R^n, for arbitrarily small values of μ>0μ>0. Additionally, we show that in the three-dimensional setting, after some time, these solutions become classical solutions, provided that κκ is not too large. In this case, we also consider their large-time behaviour: We prove decay if κ≤0κ\leq 0 and the existence of an absorbing set if κ>0κ>0 is sufficiently small. Keywords: chemotaxis, logistic source, existence, weak solutions, eventual smoothness
