Abstract

In this paper we study the global boundedness of solutions to the fully parabolic chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity:$u_t=\Delta u-\chi\nabla·(\frac{u}{v}\nabla v)$, $v_t=k\Delta v-v+u$, subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ ($n\ge 2$), where $\chi, \, k>0$. It is shown that the solution is globally bounded provided $0<\chi<\frac{-(k-1)+\sqrt{(k-1)^2+\frac{8k}{n}}}{2}$. This result removes the additional restriction of $n \le 8 $ in Zhao, Zheng [15] for the global boundedness of solutions.
