โฆ Synopsis
Models of diffusion are presented which recognize the local geometry of individual cells or storage sites and the exchange of flux on the micro-scale of these cells. Such models have been obtained by homogenization, but here we indicate stronger existence~uniqueness results of "parabolic" type can be obtained directly. Connections between these models and their historical development will be described.

A number of physical situations, including chemical reactions, electrical heating, and fluid flow, give rise to nonlinear diffusion problems. In this paper models are derived and results relating to the blow-up of the solutions are given. Some of the proofs are outlined and the physical significance
