Global solutions in a fully parabolic chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity

TLDR
In this article, the Neumann boundary value problem for the chemotaxis system is considered in a smooth bounded domain and it is shown that if then for any such data there exists a global-in-time classical solution, generalizing a previous result which asserts the same for n=2 only.
Abstract
The Neumann boundary value problem for the chemotaxis system is considered in a smooth bounded domain Ω⊂ℝn, n⩾2, with initial data and v0∈W1, ∞(Ω) satisfying u0⩾0 and v0>0 in . It is shown that if then for any such data there exists a global-in-time classical solution, generalizing a previous result which asserts the same for n=2 only. Furthermore, it is seen that the range of admissible χ can be enlarged upon relaxing the solution concept. More precisely, global existence of weak solutions is established whenever .

Toward a mathematical theory of Keller–Segel models of pattern formation in biological tissues

TL;DR: In this article, a survey and critical analysis focused on a variety of chemotaxis models in biology, namely the classical Keller-Segel model and its subsequent modifications, which, in several cases, have been developed to obtain models that prevent the non-physical blow up of solutions.

Aggregation vs. global diffusive behavior in the higher-dimensional Keller–Segel model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the classical parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel system with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain and proved that for each q > n 2 and p > n one can find e 0 > 0 such that if the initial data ( u 0, v 0 ) satisfy L q ( Ω ) e and ∇ v 0 ‖ L p (Ω) e then the solution is global in time and bounded and asymptotically behaves like the solution of a discoupled system of linear parabolic
