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. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: msc class_labels: 60K35, 60F99 date: 2007 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00007374 portal_cluster_id: p-iwrpp portal_order: 07374 ppn_swb: 164617576X own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-73745 language: eng bibsort: REICHERTCHLAWSOFLARG2007 full_text_status: public series: IWR-Preprints citation: Reichert, Christian (2007) Laws of large numbers for mesoscopic stochastic models of reacting and diffusing particles.
