Abstract

We prove existence of global weak solutions to the chemotaxis system ut=Δu(uv)+κuμu2 u_t=\Delta u - \nabla\cdot (u\nabla v) +\kappa u -\mu u^2 vt=Δvv+u v_t=\Delta v-v+u under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded convex domain ΩRn\Omega\subset R^n, for arbitrarily small values of μ>0\mu>0. Additionally, we show that in the three-dimensional setting, after some time, these solutions become classical solutions, provided that κ\kappa is not too large. In this case, we also consider their large-time behaviour: We prove decay if κ0\kappa\leq 0 and the existence of an absorbing set if κ>0\kappa>0 is sufficiently small.
