This paper deals with the quasilinear Keller-Segel system

$ \begin{align*} \begin{cases} u_t = \nabla\cdot(D(u)\nabla u)-\nabla\cdot(S(u)\nabla v), &x \in \Omega, \ t>0, \\ \ v_t = \Delta v - v +u, &x \in \Omega, \ t>0 \end{cases} \end{align*} $

$ \Omega = \mathbb{R}^N $

or in a smoothly bounded domain

$ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N $

, with nonnegative initial data

$ u_0\in L^1(\Omega) \cap L^\infty(\Omega) $

, and

$ v_0\in L^1(\Omega) \cap W^{1, \infty}(\Omega) $

; in the case that

$ \Omega $

is bounded, it is supplemented with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. The diffusivity

$ D(u) $

and the sensitivity

$ S(u) $

are assumed to fulfill

$ D(u)\ge u^{m-1}\ (m\geq1) $

and

$ S(u)\leq u^{q-1}\ (q\geq 2) $

, respectively. This paper derives uniform-in-time boundedness of nonnegative solutions to the system when

$ q<m+\frac{2}{N} $

. In the case

$ \Omega = \mathbb{R}^N $

the result says boundedness which was not attained in a previous paper (J. Differential Equations 2012; 252:1421-1440). The proof is based on the maximal Sobolev regularity for the second equation. This also simplifies a previous proof given by Tao-Winkler (J. Differential Equations 2012; 252:692-715) in the case of bounded domains.

Keywords: Quasilinear degenerate Keller-Segel systems, boundedness.
