The Neumann boundary value problem for the chemotaxis systemis considered in a smooth bounded domain Ω⊂ℝ n , n ⩾2, with initial data and v 0 ∈ W 1, ∞ (Ω) satisfying u 0 ⩾0 and v 0 >0 in . It is shown that if then for any such data there exists a global‐in‐time classical solution, generalizing a previous result which asserts the same for n =2 only. Furthermore, it is seen that the range of admissible χ can be enlarged upon relaxing the solution concept. More precisely, global existence of weak solutions is established whenever .
