Abstract

We analyse a mathematical model for the growth of thin filaments into a two dimensional medium. More exactly, we focus on a certain reaction/diffusion system, describing the interaction between three chemicals (an activator, an inhibitor and a growth factor), and including a fourth cell variable characterising irreversible incorporation to a filament. Such a model has been shown numerically to generate structures shaped like nets. We perform an asymptotical analysis of the behaviour of solutions, in the case when the system has parameters very large and very small, thereby allowing the onset of different time and space scales. In particular, we describe the motion of the tip of a filament, and the changes in the relevant chemical species nearby. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The spatial-domain Green's functions for the vector and scalar potentials in planar stratified media are cast into closed forms via a two-level approximation of their spectral-domain counterparts. The proposed methodology begins with the approximation of the spectral-domain Green's functions over la

## Abstract In the present paper we study the structural stability of the mathematical model of the linear thermoelastic materials with voids. We prove that the solutions of problems depend continuously on the constitutive quantities, which may be subjected to error or perturbations in the mathemat
