The theory of complementary variational principles is used to obtain maximum and minimum principles for diffusion problems with Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In an illustrative calculation we obtain an extremely accurate variational solution in good agreement with the numerical solution of .

β¦ Synopsis
Point wise upper and lower bounds for the solution of a class of nonlinear diffusion problems with Michaelis-Menten kinetics are presented. Simple analytical bounding curves are obtained and for an illustrative case the calculated values bound the recent numerical solution of P.

Analytical bounding functions for diffusion problems with Michaelis-Menten kinetics were recently presented by Anderson and Arthurs, 1985 (Bull. math. Biol. 47, 145-153). Their method, successful to some extent for a small range of parameters, has the disadvantage of providing a weak upper bound. Th
