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.

β¦ Synopsis
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 .

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
