Abstract

Shadow systems are often used to approximate reaction-diffusion systems when one of the diffusion rates is large. In this paper, we study the global existence and blow-up phenomena for shadow systems. Our results show that even for these fundamental aspects, there are serious discrepancies between the dynamics of the reaction-diffusion systems and that of their corresponding shadow systems.
