Abstract

In this paper, we study global well-posedness of the two-dimensional Keller-Segel model in Lebesgue space and Sobolev space. Recall that in the paper "Existence and uniqueness theorem on mild solutions to the Keller-Segel system in the scaling invariant space, J. Differential Equations, {252}(2012), 1213--1228", Kozono, Sugiyama & Wachi studied global well-posedness of $n$($\ge3$) dimensional Keller-Segel system and posted a question about the even local in time existence for the Keller-Segel system with $L^1(R^2)\times{L}^\infty(R^2)$ initial data. Here we give an affirmative answer to this question: in fact, we show the global in time existence and uniqueness for $L^1(R^2)\times{L}^{\infty}(R^2)$ initial data. Furthermore, we prove that for any $H^1_b(R^2) \times {H}^1(R^2)$ initial data with $H^1_b(R^2):=H^1(R^2)\cap{L}^\infty(R^2)$, there also exists a unique global mild solution to the parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel model. The estimates of ${\sup_{t>0}}t^{1-\frac{n}{p}}\|u\|_{L^p}$ for $(n,p)=(2,\infty)$ and the introduced special half norm, i.e. $\sup_{t>0}t^{1/2}(1+t)^{-1/2}\|\nabla{v}\|_{L^\infty}$, are crucial in our proof.
