A system of quasilinear parabolic equations modelling chemotaxis and taking into account the volume filling effect is studied under no-flux boundary conditions. The resulting system is non-uniformly parabolic. A Lyapunov functional for the system is constructed. The proof of existence and uniqueness of regular global-in-time solutions is given in cases when either the Lyapunov functional is bounded from below or chemotactic forces are suitably weakened. In the first case solutions are uniformly...
In [2] we proved two kinds of mechanisms of preventing the blow up in a quasilinear non-uniformly parabolic Keller-Segel systems. One of them was a priori boundedness from below of the Lyapunov functional. In fact, we were able to present a condition under which the Lyapunov functional is bounded from below and a solution exists globally. In the present paper we prove that whenever the Lyapunov functional is bounded from below the solution exists globally.
In this paper we consider a model of chemorepulsion. We prove global existence and uniqueness of smooth classical solutions in space dimension n = 2. For n = 3,4 we prove the global existence of weak solutions. The convergence to steady states is shown in all cases.
