We consider the two-species quasi-linear chemotaxis system generalizing the prototype
(0.1) {u(t) = del . (D-1(u)del u - chi(1)del . (S-1(u)del v), x is an element of Omega, t > 0, 0 = Delta v - v + w, x is an element of Omega, t > 0, w(t) = del . (D-2(w)del w) - chi(2)del . (S-2(w)del z), x is an element of Omega, t > 0, 0 = Delta z - z + u, x is an element of Omega, t > 0,
under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain Omega subset of R-N (N >= 1). Here D-i(u) = (u + 1)(mi-1), S-i(u) = u(u + 1)(qi-1) (i = 1,2), with parameters m(i) >= 1, q(i) > 0 and chi(1),chi(2) is an element of R. Hence, (0.1) allows the interaction of attraction-repulsion, with attraction-attraction and repulsion-repulsion type. It is proved that
(i) in the attraction-repulsion case chi(1) < 0: if q(1) < m(1) + 2/N and q(2) < m(2) + 2/N - (N - 2)(+)/N, then for any nonnegative smooth initial data, there exists a unique global classical solution which is bounded;
(ii) in the doubly repulsive case chi(1) = chi(2) < 0: if q(1) < m(1) + 2/N - (N - 2)(+)/N and q(2) < m(2) + 2/N - (N - 2)(+)/N, then for any nonnegative smooth initial data, there exists a unique global classical solution which is bounded;
(iii) in the attraction-attraction case chi(1) = chi(2) > 0: if q(1) < 2/N + m(1) - 1 and q(2) < 2/N + m(2) - 1, then for any nonnegative smooth initial data, there exists a unique global classical solution which is bounded.
In particular, these results demonstrate that the circular chemotaxis mechanism underlying (0.1) goes along with essentially the same destabilizing features as known for the quasi-linear chemotaxis system in the doubly attractive case. These results generalize the results of Tao and Winkler (Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. Ser. B. 20(9) (2015), 3165-3183) and also enlarge the parameter range q > 2/N - 1.
