Synopsis

We analyse global existence of solutions to a system of two reaction–diffusion equations for whicha ‘balance’ law holds. The main aim is to make clear the influence of different combinations ofboundary conditions on global existence under the assumption that the nonlinearities satisfy polynomial growth estimates.
