Abstract

This paper deals with a nonlinear system of two partial differential equations arising in chemotaxis, involving a source term of logistic type. The existence of global bounded classical solutions is proved under the assumption that either the space dimension does not exceed two, or that the logistic damping effect is strong enough. Also, the existence of global weak solutions is shown under rather mild conditions. Secondly, the corresponding stationary problem is studied and some regularity properties are given. It is proved that in presence of certain, sufficiently strong logistic damping there is only one nonzero equilibrium, and all solutions of the non-stationary system approach this steady state for large…
