Fast optical tracking of diffusion in time-dependent environment of brain extracellular space

Hrabě, Jan

Similarity:

An improved version of the Integrative Optical Imaging (IOI) method for diffusion measurements in a geometrically complex environment of the brain extracellular space has been developed. We present a theory for this Fast Optical Tracking Of Diffusion (FOTOD) which incorporates a time-dependent effective diffusion coefficient in homogeneous anisotropic media with time-dependent nonspecific linear clearance. FOTOD can be used to measure rapid changes in extracellular diffusion permeability...

Homogenization and Diffusion Asymptotics of the Linear Boltzmann Equation

Thierry Goudon, Antoine Mellet (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We investigate the diffusion limit for general conservative Boltzmann equations with oscillating coefficients. Oscillations have a frequency of the same order as the inverse of the mean free path, and the coefficients may depend on both slow and fast variables. Passing to the limit, we are led to an effective drift-diffusion equation. We also describe the diffusive behaviour when the equilibrium function has a non-vanishing flux.

A solution of nonlinear diffusion problems by semilinear reaction-diffusion systems

Hideki Murakawa (2009)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems involving degenerate parabolic problems, such as the Stefan problem and the porous medium equation, and cross-diffusion systems in population ecology. The degeneracy of the diffusion and the effect of cross-diffusion, that is, nonlinearities of the diffusion, complicate its analysis. In order to avoid the nonlinearities, we propose a reaction-diffusion system with solutions that approximate those of the nonlinear diffusion problems....

Convergence and stability of higher-order finite element solution of reaction-diffusion equation with Turing instability

Kůs, Pavel

Similarity:

In this contribution, higher-order finite element method is used for the solution of reaction-diffusion equation with Turing instability. Some aspects concerning convergence of the method for this particular problem are discussed. Our numerical tests confirm the convergence of the method, but for some very special choices of parameters, this convergence has very uncommon properties.

Solution of contaminant transport with adsorption in porous media by the method of characteristics

Jozef Kacur, Roger Van Keer (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

A new approximation scheme is presented for the mathematical model of convection-diffusion and adsorption. The method is based on the relaxation method and the method of characteristics. We prove the convergence of the method and present some numerical experiments in 1D. The results can be applied to the model of contaminant transport in porous media with multi-site, equilibrium and non-equilibrium type of adsorption.

Regularity analysis for systems of reaction-diffusion equations

Thierry Goudon, Alexis Vasseur (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to the study of the regularity of solutions to some systems of reaction–diffusion equations. In particular, we show the global boundedness and regularity of the solutions in one and two dimensions. In addition, we discuss the Hausdorff dimension of the set of singularities in higher dimensions. Our approach is inspired by De Giorgi’s method for elliptic regularity with rough coefficients. The proof uses the specific structure of the system to be considered and is...
