Mathematical analysis of a three-dimensional eutrophication model

Abstract In this paper we present and analyze a nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton–organic detritus-dissolved oxygen mathematical model simulating eutrophication processes into aquatic media. As a main result, we obtain existence and uniqueness results for the solution of the system, under realistic hypotheses of non-smooth coefficients (in particular, a non-regular water velocity). This lack or regularity prevent us from using the standard semigroup approach, forcing us towards the utilization of more refined techniques.
