Persistence and boundedness in a logistics chemotaxis system including one-species, two-chemicals, and singularity

Abstract

Chemotaxis systems describe how biological populations respond to chemical gradients, yet singular sensitivities often lead to blow-up phenomena that challenge mathematical stability. This study addresses a parabolic–elliptic–elliptic chemotaxis model involving one species and two interacting chemicals with a logistic growth term under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. Motivated by the need to identify mechanisms preventing blow-up, we establish rigorous conditions ensuring persistence and global boundedness of classical solutions. Specifically, it is proven that when the logistic damping effect is sufficiently strong, the system admits a unique global solution that remains positive and uniformly bounded over time. These findings advance previous theoretical results by clarifying how logistic regulation stabilizes chemotactic aggregation even under singular sensitivity.
