Synopsis

A monotone iteration scheme for the solution of the initial boundary problems associated with a system of semilinear parabolic differential equations has been developed that does not require the nonlinearities to be quasimonotone. The class of equations to which this scheme applies includes physical models that describe combustion processes involving Arrhenius reaction terms.
