Exact Controllability to Nonnegative Trajectory for a Chemotaxis System
摘要
This paper studies the controllability for a Keller–Segel type chemotaxis model with singular sensitivity. Based on the Hopf–Cole transformation, a nonlinear parabolic system, which has first-order couplings, and the coupling coefficients are functions that depend on both time and space variables, is derived. Then, the controllability result is proved by a new global Carleman estimate for general coupled parabolic equations allowed to contain a convective term. Also, the global existence of nonnegative solution for the chemotaxis system is discussed.
