Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 47 (5-6), 604-613.0895-7177http://hdl.handle.net/11441/45004In this paper we consider a nonlinear system of differential equations arising in tumour invasion which has been proposed in [1] M.A.J. Chaplain and A.R.A. Anderson, Mathematical modelling of tissue invasion, in Cancer Modelling and Simulation, ed., L. Preziosi (Chapman & Hall/CRT, 2003), pp. 269–297. The system consists of two PDEs describing the evolution of tumour cells and proteases and an ODE which models the concentration of the extracellular matrix. We prove local existence and uniqueness of solutions in the class of Hölder spaces. The proof of local existence is done by Schauder’s fixed point theorem and for the uniqueness we use an idea from [2] H. Gajewski, K.
