Solutions of this problem preserve nonnegativity and uniform boundedness of the total mass. Moreover, for the corresponding system with two non-zero diffusion coefficients, all nonnegative solutions are global in time. We prove that a removal of diffusion in one of the equations leads to a finite-time blow-up of some nonnegative spatially heterogeneous solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-08T17:48:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonnegative solutions", "reaction-diffusion-ode systems", "diffusion-driven blowup", "nonnegative spatially heterogeneous solutions", "destabilizes constant steady states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151102510M" } } }
