Abstract
We deal with a mathematical model for a four-component chemical reaction-diffusion process. The model is described by a system of strongly coupled reaction-diffusion equations with different diffusion rates. The existence of the global solution of this reaction-diffusion system in unbounded domain is proved by using semigroup theory and estimates on the growth of solutions.
