講演: PDE modeling of Biological Transportation Networks
Prof. Peter Markowich
(DAMTP, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK)
要旨: We present a PDE model for the evolution and adaption of biological transportation networks. The model is based on the  Kirchhoff (conservation) law, Darcy’s law for porous media flows and local network energy minimization.  In particular we discuss qualitative (existence, uniqueness and regularity) and quantitative (this structures and steep local gradients) features  of the solutions.
