Abstract:
There are many applications (in biology and physics) where particles of different types interact and move in a heterogeneous space. Some of these applications can be modelled by systems of reaction networks, which describe the changes due to individual particles meeting and interacting with each other. There are also many such systems which take place in a spatial domain which is not homogeneous. Models combining spatial dynamics and interactions can be made at different levels of detail using both deterministic and stochastic objects. I will describe the modelling framework at the microscopic level which uses continuous time Markov chains to describe the evolution of the number of particles of different types in different parts of the space. I will discuss various modelling complexities such as multiple time-scale of changes in particle abundances, and the stochastic tools that can be used to reduce the models to a macroscopic descriptions. I will motivate the topic with a basic example of an intracellular mechanism of enzymatic kinetics.
Intended Audience:
Undergraduates, graduates, and experts. Those with interest in the topic.
The Math Modeling Seminar will recur each week throughout the semester on the same day and time. Find out more about upcoming speakers on the Mathematical Modeling Seminar Series webpage.
