Session 13. Global existence versus blowup in nonlinear parabolic systems

Eventual smoothness in a three-dimensional chemotaxis systems with logistic source

Johannes Lankeit, Universität Paderborn, Germany
We prove existence of weak solutions to the chemotaxis system \begin{align*} u_t&=\Delta u - \nabla\cdot (u\nabla v) +\kappa u -\mu u^2\\ v_t&=\Delta v-v+u\nonumber \end{align*} under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded convex domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3\), for arbitrary values of \(\mu>0\). Additionally, we show that, after some time, these solutions become classical solutions, provided that \(\kappa\) is not too large.
