Abstract

In this chapter, a diffusion model system of equations is analyzed, and entire solutions are established under some conditions on its nonlinearity. The starting point of this work is raised by the following question: can one establish new results related to the existence and asymptotic behaviour of solutions for such systems as the one considered? We believe that this question deserves investigation, which can be structured in several scientific research objectives. The results achieved in the chapter, generated by the above question, are of high interest in the academic society and industry and want to convey a great variety of applications.
