Global bounded classical solutions to a parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis model with local sensing and asymptotically unbounded motility

Global existence and boundedness of classical solutions are shown for a parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis system with local sensing when the motility function is assumed to be unbounded at infinity. The cornerstone of the proof is the derivation of L infinity$L<^>\infty$-estimates on the second component of the system and is achieved by various comparison arguments.
