Global boundedness for a two-dimensional doubly degenerate nutrient taxis system
Zhiguang Zhang, Yuxiang Li
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the doubly degenerate nutrient taxis system $u_t=\nabla \cdot(u^{l-1} v \nabla u)- \nabla \cdot\left(u^{l} v \nabla v\right)+ uv$ and $v_t=Δv-u v$ for some $l \geqslant 1$, subjected to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded convex domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ $(n \leqslant 2)$. Through distinct approaches, we establish that for sufficiently regular initial data, in two-dimensional contexts, if $l \in[1,3]$, then the system possesses global weak solutions, and in one-dimensional settings, the same conclusion holds for $l \in[1,\infty)$. Notably, the solution remains uniformly bounded when $l \in[1,\infty)$ in one dimension or $l \in(1,3]$ in two dimensions.
