Existence of solutions for a quasilinear reaction diffusion system (Q448673): Difference between revisions

Summary: The degenerate reaction-diffusion system has been applied to a variety of physical and engineering problems. This paper extends the existence of solutions from the quasimonotone reaction functions (e.g., inhibitor-inhibitor mechanism) to the mixed quasimonotone reaction functions (e.g., activator-inhibitor mechanism). By Schauder fixed point theorem, it is shown that the system admits at least one positive solution if there exist a coupled of upper and lower solutions. This result is applied to a Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model.
