Abstract

This paper deals with nonnegative solutions of the Neumann initial-boundary value problem for the fully parabolic chemotaxis-growth system (uε)t (u_{\varepsilon})_t =Δuεε(uεvε)+μuε(1uε)=\Delta u_{\varepsilon} - \varepsilon \nabla \cdot ( u_\varepsilon \nabla v_\varepsilon) + \mu u_\varepsilon(1 - u_\varepsilon), (vε)t=Δvεvε+uε, (v_{\varepsilon})_t=\Delta v_\varepsilon -v_\varepsilon+u_\varepsilon, with positive small parameter ε>0\varepsilon>0 in a bounded convex domain ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n (n1n\geq 1) with smooth boundary. The solutions converge to the solution uu to the Fisher-KPP equation as ε0\varepsilon\to 0. It is shown that for all μ>0\mu>0 and any suitably regular nonnegative initial data (uinit,vinit)(u_{init},v_{init}) there are some constants ε0>0\varepsilon_0>0 and C>0C>0 such that supt>0uε(,t)u(,t)L(Ω)Cεfor all ε(0,ε0). \sup_{t>0}\|u_\varepsilon(\cdot,t)-u(\cdot,t)\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} \leq C\varepsilon \quad for\ all\ \varepsilon\in(0,\varepsilon_0).
