## Blow-up phenomena in reaction-diffusion systems

 1 Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica, Università di Cagliari, 09123, Italy, Italy

Received  December 2010 Revised  September 2011 Published  June 2012

In this paper we deal with the blow-up phenomena of solutions to two different classes of reaction-diffusion systems coupled through nonlinearities with nonlinear boundary conditions. By using a differential inequality technique, we derive upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time, if blow-up occurs. Moreover by introducing suitable auxiliary functions, we give sufficient conditions on data in order to obtain global existence.
