TL;DR
This paper addresses global existence and uniform-in-time bounds for a three-component reaction-diffusion system with mass control and the linear intermediate weighted sum condition. It introduces an $L^p$-energy polynomial framework based on a homogeneous polynomial $\mathcal{H}_p$ to construct Lyapunov functionals that yield global classical solutions in arbitrary dimensions and under broad boundary conditions, even with arbitrary polynomial growth in the nonlinearities. Under slightly stronger assumptions and mixed boundary conditions, the framework provides uniform-in-time $L^\infty$ bounds, leveraging the regularizing effect of the parabolic operator. The results extend to general boundary conditions and to higher-order interactions, including three-species sub-skew-symmetric Lotka-Volterra models. This work broadens the class of RD systems for which global well-posedness and uniform bounds are known, with potential applications in chemical and biological modeling.
Abstract
We investigate a class of three-component reaction-diffusion systems subject to mass control and a newly introduced structural assumption, referred to as linear intermediate weighted sum condition. Under these hypotheses, we establish the global existence of classical solutions in arbitrary spatial dimensions and wide class of boundary conditions, even when the nonlinearities exhibit arbitrary polynomial growth. We establish also that, under slight-stronger assumptions and mixed boundary conditions, solutions admit uniform-in-time bounds. Our approach relies on the extension of $L^p$-energy polynomial functionals, together with the regularizing effect for parabolic equations. Furthermore, we demonstrate the applicability of our framework by analyzing three-species sub-skew-symmetric Lotka-Volterra systems with higher-order interactions.
