In this paper, we focus on the qualitative analysis of a parabolic–elliptic attraction–repulsion chemotaxis model with logistic source. Applying a fixed point argument, [Formula: see text]-estimate technique and Moser’s iteration, we derive that the model admits a unique global solution provided the initial cell mass satisfying [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] While for [Formula: see text], there are no restrictions on the initial cell mass and the result still holds.
