Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0689.00009.] The authors study the existence of positive solutions of certain elliptic systems which are of interest in reaction-diffusion processes in biology and chemistry, such as porous medium analysis and population dynamics, under slightly weaker assumptions on the right-hand side function than are usually made for the nondegenerate cases. Emphasis is on degenerate versions of these equations and the existence of (upper and lower bounds for) positive solutions. First, existence and uniqueness theorems are derived for scalar equations, which are then used to construct monotone sequences which are shown to converge to upper and lower bounds for all positive solutions of the system under consideration. The upper and lower bounds are derived using Schauder's fixed point theorem. It would have been interesting to see results of the numerical approximation announced by the authors, but not carried out in this paper.
