Abstract
We discuss the influence of possible spatial inhomogeneities in the coefficients of logistic source terms in parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis-growth systems of the form \begin{align*} u_t &= \Delta u - \nabla\cdot(u\nabla v) + \kappa(x)u-\mu(x)u^2, 0 &= \Delta v - v + u \end{align*} in smoothly bounded domains . Assuming that the coefficient functions satisfy with we prove that finite-time blow-up of the classical solution can only occur in points where is zero, i.e.\ that the blow-up set is contained in \begin{align*} \big\{x\in\overline{\Omega}\mid\mu(x)=0\big\}. \end{align*} Moreover, we show that whenever for some , then one can find an open neighbourhood of in such that remains bounded in throughout evolution.
