Maximal regularity of the heat evolution equation on spatial local spaces and application to a singular limit problem of the Keller–Segel system

Abstract

We consider the singular limit problem for the Cauchy problem of the (Patlak–) Keller–Segel system of parabolic-parabolic type. The problem is considered in the uniformly local Lebesgue spaces and the singular limit problem as the relaxation parameter tau goes to infinity, the solution to the Keller–Segel equation converges to a solution to the drift-diffusion system in the strong uniformly local topology. For the proof, we follow the former result due to Kurokiba–Ogawa [20–22] and we establish maximal regularity for the heat equation over the uniformly local Lebesgue and Morrey spaces which are non-UMD Banach spaces and apply it for the strong convergence of the singular limit problem in the scaling critical local spaces.
