Arbitrarily fast grow-up rates in quasilinear Keller–Segel systems

<jats:p> The chemotaxis system [Formula: see text] is considered in a ball [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], where the positive function [Formula: see text] reflects suitably weak diffusion by satisfying [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text]. It is shown that whenever [Formula: see text] is positive and satisfies [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], one can find a suitably regular nonlinearity [Formula: see text] with the property that at each sufficiently large mass level [Formula: see text] there exists a globally defined radially symmetric classical solution to a Neumann-type boundary value problem for (⋆) which satisfies [Formula: see text] </jats:p>
