The large-time asymptotics of the solutions to a class of degenerate parabolic cross-diffusion systems is analyzed. The equations model the interaction of an arbitrary number of population species in a bounded domain with no-flux boundary conditions. Compared to previous works, we allow for different diffusivities and degenerate nonlinearities. The proof is based on the relative entropy method, but in contrast to usual arguments, the relative entropy and entropy production are not directly related by a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The key idea is to apply convex Sobolev inequalities to modified entropy densities including “iterated” degenerated functions.
