Abstract

We study the existence and non-existence of classical solutions to a general Gierer—Meinhardt system with Dirichlet boundary condition. The main feature of this paper is that we are concerned with a model in which both the activator and the inhibitor have different sources given by general nonlinearities. Under some additional hypotheses and in the case of pure powers in nonlinearities, regularity and uniqueness of the solution in one dimension is also presented.
