Abstract

In this paper, a virus infection model with saturated chemotaxis is formulated and analyzed, where the chemotactic sensitivity for chemotactic movements of the cells is described. This model contains three state variables namely the population density of uninfected cells, the population density of infected cells and the concentration of virus particles, respectively. By virtue of regularized approximation technique and fixed point theorem, the local solvability of the regularized system corresponding to the original system is established. Then by extracting a suitable sequence along which the respective approximate solutions approach a limit in convenient topologies, with addition of Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality as well as Lp-estimate techniques, we show that the original system describing the virus infection model exists at least one global weak solution. To illustrate the application of our theoretical results, an optimal control problem of the epidemic system is considered, where the admissible control domain is assumed to be a bounded closed convex subset. With the help of Aubin compactness theorem and lower semicontinuous of the cost functional, the existence of the optimal pair is proved. Our results generalize and improve partial previously known ones, and moreover, we first prove that the optimal control problem has at least one optimal pair.
