Abstract: If we knew the existence of upper and lower solutions u, v of a coupled reaction-diffusion system with quasi-monotone nonlinear reaction functions, then we can prove the existence of a solution ω of the same system such that uωv by a monotone method. If the reaction functions of a system are not quasi-monotone, then we have not got a monotone method and so we are not sure on the existence of a solution of the system. The purpose of this paper is to extend the monotone method to nonquasilinear reaction-diffusion system by giving a new construiction of upper and lower solutions and their sequences. Both the time-dependent system and its corresponding steady-state problem are discussed.
