Abstract

In the current paper, we consider the following parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis system with logistic source on RN\mathbb{R}^{N}, \begin{equation} \begin{cases} u_t=\Delta u-\chi\nabla\cdot ( u\nabla v) + u(a-bu),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}\,\,\, t>0\cr {v_t}=\Delta v -\lambda v+\mu u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}\,\,\, t>0 \end{cases}(1) \end{equation} where χ, a, b, λ, μ\chi, \ a,\ b,\ \lambda,\ \mu are positive constants and NN is a positive integer. We investigate the persistence and convergence in (1). To this end, we first prove, under the assumption b>Nχμ4b>\frac{N\chi\mu}{4}, the global existence of a unique classical solution (u(x,t;u0,v0),v(x,t;u0,v0))(u(x,t;u_0, v_0),v(x,t;u_0, v_0)) of (1) with u(x,0;u0,v0)=u0(x)u(x,0;u_0, v_0)=u_0(x) and v(x,0;u0,v0)=v0(x)v(x,0;u_0, v_0)=v_0(x) for every nonnegative, bounded, and uniformly continuous function u0(x)u_0(x), and every nonnegative, bounded, uniformly continuous, and differentiable function v0(x)v_0(x). Next, under the same assumption b>Nχμ4b>\frac{N\chi\mu}{4}, we show that persistence phenomena occurs, that is, any globally defined bounded positive classical solution with strictly positive initial function u0u_0 is bounded below by a positive constant independent of (u0,v0)(u_0, v_0) when time is large. Finally, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the global classical solution with strictly positive initial function u0u_0. We show that there is K=K(a,λ,N)>N4K=K(a,\lambda,N)>\frac{N}{4} such that if b>Kχμb>K \chi\mu and λa2\lambda\geq \frac{a}{2}, then for every strictly positive initial function u0()u_0(\cdot), it holds that limt[u(x,t;u0,v0)ab+v(x,t;u0,v0)μλab]=0.\lim_{t\to\infty}\big[\|u(x,t;u_0, v_0)-\frac{a}{b}\|_{\infty}+\|v(x,t;u_0, v_0)-\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\frac{a}{b}\|_{\infty}\big]=0.
