Fund Project: The research of C.-C. Chen is partly supported by the grant 102-2115-M-002-011-MY3 of Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan. The research of L.-C. Hung is partly supported by the grant 104EFA0101550 of Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan.

In this paper, we prove the N-barrier maximum principle, which extends the result in C.-C. Chen and L.-C. Hung (2016) from linear diffusion equations to nonlinear diffusion equations, for a wide class of degenerate elliptic systems of porous medium type. The N-barrier maximum principle provides a priori upper and lower bounds of the solutions to the above-mentioned degenerate nonlinear diffusion equations including the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto model as a special case. We also apply the N-barrier maximum principle to a coexistence problem in ecology, where we show the nonexistence of traveling waves in a three-species degenerate elliptic system.

Keywords: Maximum principles, traveling wave solutions, degenerate elliptic systems, reaction-diffusion equations, Lotka-Volterra.
