Abstract: We study the the Dirichlet problem for the cross-diffusion system [ partial_tu_i=operatorname{div}left(a_iu_i abla (u_1+u_2) ight)+f_i(u_1,u_2),quad i=1,2,quad a_i=const>0, ] in the cylinder Q=Omegaimes(0,T]. The functions fi are assumed to satisfy the conditions f1(0,r)=0, f2(s,0)=0, f1(0,r), f2(s,0) are locally Lipschitz-continuous. It is proved that for suitable initial data u0, v0 the system admits segregated solutions (u1,u2) such that uiinLinfty(Q), u1+u2inC0(overlineQ), u1+u2>0 and u1cdotu2=0 everywhere in Q. We show that the segregated solution is not unique and derive the equation of motion of the surface Gamma which separates the parts of Q where u1>0, or u2>0. The equation of motion of Gamma is a modification of the Darcy law in filtration theory. Results of numerical simulation are presented.
