Abstract :
We concern a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations modeling the invasive tumor growth of the malignant brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme. When a nonlinear term represents the proliferation rate of the tumor cells, the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for this system are proved by the Schauder fixed-point theorem and duality technique.
