Modeling in Life Sciences with Partial Differential Equations- a few examples

This class deals with the analysis (theoretical and numerical) of a few reaction-diffusion equations in a biological context. The class consists in 14x2 hours sessions. This course is part of an experimental COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) initiative in collaboration with Le Havre Normandie University. The program is as follows.
  1. Lecture 1: Some PDE's in biological context: Fisher-KPP equation, Hodgkin-Huxley
  2. Lecture 2: Some PDE's in biological context: FitzHugh-Nagumo. Homework
  3. Lecture 3-5:Turing Bifurcation
  4. Lecture 6-8: Hopf Bifurcation
  5. Lecture 9-11: Pattern Formation
  6. Lecture 11-14: Travelling Waves
November 19 2024, Lecture: Partial Differential Equations Modeling in Life Science, The Turing Mechanism.

This lecture will introduce the Turing Mechanism in Reaction-Diffusion Systems trough practical, theoretical and numerical approaches. It is opened to everyone altough to take full benefit of it requires basic knowledge on Calculus and Ordinary Differential Equations. Registration for the full semester are closed.
