Subcritical-mass global solvability in a doubly degenerate Keller-Segel system with signal production

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for a variant of the Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with doubly degenerate diffusion, i.e. we study \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t = \nabla \cdot (uv\nabla u) - \nabla \cdot (u^2v\nabla v),\\ v_t = \Delta v + u - v,\\ (uv\nabla u-u^2v\nabla v)\cdot\nu=\nabla v\cdot\nu=0,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\quad v(x,0)=v_0(x), \end{array} \right. \] in a smoothly bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Crucially, we only assume the sufficiently regular initial data to be nonnegative, but allow those functions to be zero at non-trivial parts of the domain. We show that, despite possibly starting from a degenerate state, the system admits global solutions in a framework of generalized energy solutions, whenever the initial mass is below the threshold number $m_0=4\pi$. Moreover, in a radial setting the threshold number can be increased to $m_0=8\pi$.

Boundedness in a taxis-consumption system involving signal-dependent motilities and concurrent enhancement of density-determined diffusion and cross-diffusion

This paper is concerned with the migration-consumption taxis system involving signal-dependent motilities $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t = Δ\big(u^mϕ(v)\big), \\[1mm] v_t = Δv-uv, \end{array} \right. \qquad \qquad (\star)$$ in smoothly bounded domains $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, where $m>1$ and $n\ge2$. It is shown that if $ϕ\in C^3([0,\infty))$ is strictly positive on $[0,\infty)$, for all suitably regular initial data an associated no-flux type initial-boundary value problem possesses a globally defined bounded weak solution, provided $m>\frac{n}{2}$, which is consistent with the restriction imposed on $m$ in corresponding signal production counterparts of $(\star)$ so as to establish the similar result.

Relaxation in a Keller-Segel-consumption system involving signal-dependent motilities

Two relaxation features of the migration-consumption chemotaxis system involving signal-dependent motilities, $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t = Δ\big(uϕ(v)\big), \\[1mm] v_t = Δv-uv, \end{array} \right. \qquad \qquad (\star)$$ are studied in smoothly bounded domains $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 1$: It is shown that if $ϕ\in C^0([0,\infty))$ is positive on $[0,\infty)$, then for any initial data $(u_0,v_0)$ belonging to the space $(C^0(\overlineΩ))^\star\times L^\infty(Ω)$ an associated no-flux type initial-boundary value problem admits a global very weak solution. Beyond this initial relaxation property, it is seen that under the additional hypotheses that $ϕ\in C^1([0,\infty))$ and $n\le 3$, each of these solutions stabilizes toward a semi-trivial spatially homogeneous steady state in the large time limit. By thus applying to irregular and partially even measure-type initial data of arbitrary size, this firstly extends previous results on global solvability in ($\star$) which have been restricted to initial data not only considerably more regular but also suitably small. Secondly, this reveals a significant difference between the large time behavior in ($\star$) and that in related degenerate counterparts involving functions $ϕ$ with $ϕ(0)=0$, about which, namely, it is known that some solutions may asymptotically approach nonhomogeneous states.

Refined regularity analysis for a Keller-Segel-consumption system involving signal-dependent motilities

We consider the Keller-Segel-type migration-consumption system involving signal-dependent motilities, $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t = Δ\big(uϕ(v)\big), \\[1mm] v_t = Δv-uv, \end{array} \right. \qquad \qquad$$ in smoothly bounded domains $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 1$. Under the assumption that $ϕ\in C^1([0,\infty))$ is positive on $[0,\infty)$, and for nonnegative initial data from $(C^0(\overlineΩ))^\star \times L^\infty(Ω)$, previous literature has provided results on global existence of certain very weak solutions with possibly quite poor regularity properties, and on large time stabilization toward semitrivial equilibria with respect to the topology in $(W^{1,2}(Ω))^\star \times L^\infty(Ω)$. The present study reveals that solutions in fact enjoy significantly stronger regularity features when $0<ϕ\in C^3([0,\infty))$ and the initial data belong to $(W^{1,\infty}(Ω))^2$: It is firstly shown, namely, that then in the case $n\le 2$ an associated no-flux initial-boundary value problem even admits a global classical solution, and that each of these solutions smoothly stabilizes in the sense that as $t\to\infty$ we have $$ \begin{align*} u(\cdot,t) \to \frac{1}{|Ω|}\int_Ωu_0 \qquad \text{ and } \qquad v(\cdot,t)\to 0 \qquad \qquad (\star) \end{align*}$$ even with respect to the norm in $L^\infty(Ω)$ in both components. In the case when $n\ge 3$, secondly, some genuine weak solutions are found to exist globally, inter alia satisfying $\nabla u\in L^\frac{4}{3}_{loc}(\overlineΩ\times [0,\infty);\mathbb{R}^n)$. In the particular three-dimensional setting, any such solution is seen to become eventually smooth and to satisfy ($\star$).
