The study investigates a doubly degenerate nutrient taxis model in smoothly bounded convex subdomains of the plane, and establishes conditions for the existence of global weak solutions based on a novel class of functional inequalities.
The doubly degenerate nutrient taxis model {ut = del . (uvVu) - del . (u(2)v del v) + luv, x is an element of Omega, t > 0, v(t) = Delta v - Delta v, x E ohm, t > 0, is considered in smoothly bounded convex subdomains of the plane, with l > 0. It is shown that for any p > 2 and each fixed nonnegative u(0) is an element of W-1,W-infinity(Omega), a smallness condition exclusively involving v0 can be identified as sufficient to ensure that an associated no-flux type initial-boundary value problem with (u, v)|t=0 = (u0, v0) admits a global weak solution satisfying ess sup(t>0) parallel to u(center dot, t)parallel to L-p(Omega) < infinity. The proof relies on the use of an apparently novel class of functional inequalities which provide estimates from below for certain Dirichlet integrals involving possibly degenerate weight functions.
