Strongly coupled (or cross-diffusion) systems of parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations appear in many physical applications. This book presents a new approach to the solvability of general strongly coupled systems, a much more difficult problem in contrast to the scalar case, by unifying, elucidating and extending breakthrough results obtained by the author, and providing solutions to many open fundamental questions in the theory. Several examples in mathematical biology and ecology are also included. Contents Interpolation Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities The parabolic systems The elliptic systems Cross-diffusion systems of porous media type Nontrivial steady-state solutions The duality RBMO(μ)–H1(μ)| Some algebraic inequalities Partial regularity

The introduction of cross diffusivity opens many questions in the theory of reactiondiffusion systems. This book will be the first to investigate such problems presenting new findings for researchers interested in studying parabolic and elliptic systems where classical methods are not applicable. In addition, The Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality involving BMO norms is improved and new techniques are covered that will be of interest. This book also provides many open problems suitable for interested Ph.D students.
