Abstract
We consider the pair diffusion process which includes cluster
reactions of high order. We are able to prove a local (in time)
existence result in arbitrary space dimensions. The model
includes a nonlinear system of reaction-drift-diffusion equations,
a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations in Banach
spaces, and a nonlinear elliptic equation for the electrochemical
potential. The local existence result is based on the fixed point
theorem of Schauder.
