Abstract
In this paper we study the global boundedness of solutions to the fully parabolic attraction-repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source: ut=ÎuâÏââ
(uâv)+ξââ
(uâw)+f(u), vt=Îvâβv+αu, wt=Îwâδw+γu, subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain ΩâRn (nâ¥1), where Ï, α, ξ, γ, β and δ are positive constants, and f:RâR is a smooth function generalizing the logistic source f(s)=aâbsθ for all sâ¥0 with aâ¥0, b>0 and θâ¥1. It is shown that when the repulsion cancels the attraction (i.e. Ïα=ξγ), the solution is globally bounded if nâ¤3, or θ>θn:=minâ¡{n+24,nn2+6n+17ân2â3n+44} with nâ¥2. Therefore, due to the inhibition of repulsion to the attraction, in any spatial dimension, the exponent θ is allowed to take values less than 2 such that the solution is uniformly bounded in time.
