Unboundedness of solutions to a supercritical quasilinear parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel system in dimension 1 and to a critical one in higher dimensions

Abstract

Unboundedness of solutions is shown to occur in a one-dimensional quasilinear parabolicparabolic chemotaxis system for any initial mass. Our result is also independent of the relation between the speeds of the diffusion of cells and chemoattractant. The proof is achieved by contradiction. It uses a virial type inequality together with a boundedness from below of the Liapunov functional associated to the system. Moreover, the same method is applied also in higher dimensions and an unboundedness result is shown in the case of critical quasilinear fully parabolic Keller-Segel system for mass large enough in dimensions n\geq 3. Key words: chemotaxis, infinite-time blowup.
