We apply the abstract results to the Lotka-Volterra system with diffusion, a generalized logistic equation and to a model of fractional-order chemical autocatalysis with decay. Morever, in the case of the Lotka-Volterra system a weak maximum principle is given, and a suitable estimate in the space of essentially bounded functions $L^{\\infty}$ is proved for at least one solution of the problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-18T13:56:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B09", "35B50", "35B51", "35K55", "35K57" ], "keywords": [ "weak comparison principle", "reaction-diffusion system", "lotka-volterra system", "weak maximum principle", "generalized logistic equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1205.4160V" } } }
