Global existence of solutions to a three-species spatial food chain model with alarm-taxis and singular sensitivity
摘要
This manuscript considers a spatial food chain model with alarm-taxis and singular sensitivity in a smoothly bounded plainer domain under zero-flux boundary conditions. Compared to the existing spatial food chain model, besides the complicated signal cascade mechanism, the possible prey-taxis singularity forms another challenge in analysis of the associated initial-boundary value problem. The gradient estimate of the primary predator density and the lower bound of the prey density are required to attain the global existence of solutions. By appropriate coupled energy estimates and an iterative procedure, based on the
