Abstract

This article deals with an initial-boundary value problem for the coupled chemotaxis-haptotaxis system with nonlinear diffusion \begin{align*} u_t=&\nabla\cdot(D(u)\nabla u)-χ\nabla\cdot(u\nabla v)-ξ\nabla\cdot(u\nabla w)+μu(1-u-w),\\ v_t=&Δv-v+u,\\ w_t=&-vw\end{align*} under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded smooth domain , , where and are given nonnegative parameters. The diffusivity is assumed to satisfy for all with some . It is proved that for sufficiently regular initial data global bounded solutions exist whenever . For the case of non-degenerate diffusion (i.e. ) the solutions are classical; for the case of possibly degenerate diffusion (), the existence of bounded weak solutions is shown.
