Abstract
In this paper, we consider the following fully parabolic two-competing-species chemotaxis model
$$
\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
\displaystyle u_{1t}=\Delta{u_{1}}-\chi \nabla\cdot(u_{1}\nabla{v_{1}})+\mu_{1}u_{1}(1-u_{1}-e_{1}u_{2}),&x\in\Omega,~ t>0,\\
\displaystyle u_{2t}=\Delta{u_{2}}-\xi\nabla\cdot(u_{2}\nabla{v_{2}})+\mu_{2}u_{2}(1-e_{2}u_{1}-u_{2}),&x\in\Omega,~t>0,\\
\displaystyle v_{1t}=\Delta{v_{1}}+u_{1}- v_{1},&x\in\Omega,~ t>0, \\
\displaystyle v_{2t}=\Delta{v_{2}}+u_{2}- v_{2},&x\in\Omega,~ t>0
\end{array}\right.
$$
under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, where Ω ⊂ ℝn (n≥3) is a convex bounded domain with smooth boundary. Relying on a comparison principle, we show that the problem possesses a unique
global bounded solution if μ1 and μ2 are large enough.
Keywords: Two-competing-species chemotaxis model, global existence, boundedness.
