Global Existence to an Attraction-Repulsion Chemotaxis Model with Fast Diffusion and Nonlinear Source

Abstract

This paper deals with the global existence of solutions to a strongly coupled parabolic-parabolic system of chemotaxis arising from the theory of reinforced random walks. More specifically, we investigate the attraction-repulsion chemotaxis model with fast diffusive term and nonlinear source subject to the Neumann boundary conditions. Such fast diffusion guarantees the global existence of solutions for any given initial value in a bounded domain. Our main results are based on the method of energy estimates, where the key estimates are obtained by a technique originating from Moser’s iterations. Moreover, we notice that the cell density goes to the maximum value when the diffusion coefficient of the cell density tends to infinity.
