Abstract: In this work we study the existence of classical solutions for a class of reaction-diffusion systems with quadratic growth naturally arising in mass action chemistry when studying networks of reactions of the type Ai+AjightleftharpoonsAk with Fickian diffusion, where the diffusion coefficients might depend on time, space and on all the concentrations ci of the chemical species. In the case of one single reaction, we prove global existence for space dimensions Nleq5. In the more restrictive case of diffusion coefficients of the type di(ci), we use an L2-approach to prove global existence for Nleq9. In the general case of networks of such reactions we extend the previous method to get global solutions for general diffusivities if Nleq3 and for diffusion of type di(ci) if Nleq5. In the latter quasi-linear case of di(ci) and for space dimensions N=2 and N=3, global existence holds for more than quadratic reactions. We can actually allow for more general rate functions including fractional power terms, important in applications. We obtain global existence under appropriate growth restrictions with an explicit dependence on the space dimension N.
