Sumario:We consider a system of two differential equations modeling chemotaxis. The system consists of a parabolic equation describing the behavior of a biological species “u” coupled to an ODE patterning the concentration of a chemical substance “v”. The growth of the biological species is limited by a logistic-like term where the carrying capacity presents a time-periodic asymptotic behavior. The production of the chemical species is described in terms of a regular function h, which increases as “u” increases. Under suitable assumptions we prove that the solution is globally bounded in time by using an Alikakos-Moser iteration, and it fulfills a certain periodic asymptotic behavior. Besides, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the behavior of the solutions of the system showing that the model considered here can provide very interesting and complex dynamics.
