Abstract

In this thesis, we present an approach to characterising fast-reaction lim-its of systems with nonlinear diffusion, when there are either two reaction-diffusion equations, or one reaction-diffusion equation and one ordinary dif-ferential equation on unbounded domains. Here, we replace the terms of the...
