Our approach is related to the variational approach to solving the parabolic partial differential equations that arise as limit dynamics. We first present a result for a model that converges to a classical system of reaction-diffusion equations. In addition, we discuss two models with nonlinear diffusion that give rise to quasilinear parabolic equations in the limit.
