Abstract

In this paper, we consider an extended model of a coupled nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions. We obtain upper linear growth bound for one of the components. We also find the corresponding bound for the case of Dirichlet-Dirichlet boundary conditions.
