Abstract

This note reviews certain aspects of systems with reaction terms which are non homogeneous, this is nonlinearities such that their value at zero are different from zero. This type of reactions are frequent in problems where temperature is a relevant variable, for example strongly exothermic chemical reaction like a combustion chamber, or a bio-reactor. The topics to be reviewed are far from covering all the aspects to be analyzed in these problems, but despite this they are interesting for a broad audience.
