Abstract

We consider the Keller-Segel system with logical source \begin{align*} \begin{cases} u_t = \nabla \cdot (\phi(u)\nabla u) - \nabla \cdot (\psi(u)\nabla v)+f(u), & x \in \Omega, \; t > 0, v_t = \Delta v - v + u, & x \in \Omega, \; t > 0, \end{cases} \end{align*} in a smooth bounded domain ΩRn\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n with n2n \geq 2, the Neumann initial-boundary value problem admits a globally defined, uniformly bounded classic solution for all sufficiently regular non-negative initial data u0u_0 and v0v_0. In the first equation, assume that ϕ\phi and ψ\psi are dominated by a logarithmic function and a polynomial respectively. The logical source ff representing the natural growth and decay of cells satisfies fWloc1,(Ω)f \in W^{1,\infty}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega) and f(0)0f(0) \geq 0. Then we will see that the unique solution uC2,1((Ω)×[0,T])u \in C^{2,1}((\overline{\Omega}) \times [0,T] ) and vW1,q([0,T];C2,1(Ω))v \in W^{1,q}([0,T] ; C^{2,1}(\overline{\Omega})).
