Contents

From [MAT-84-14-K-7] Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Applications to Biology and Medicine:
  • reaction-diffusion equations,
  • eexistence and properties of solutions,
  • applications: pattern appearance in biological systems, tumor growth (modelling and analysis),
  • integro-differential equations (structured populations).

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have learned how to use reaction-diffusion equations to derive and to analyse mathematical models for applications in biology and medicine. They know advanced mathematical tools that are used for investigating the existence, uniqueness and characteristics of solutions, and they can apply those to practical problems. Additionally, they have gained insights into interdisciplinary questions.
