We model a chain of coupled bistable reactors by the discrete Nagumo reaction-diffusion equation: du,,/dt = f(u,,) + d(u, +~ + u,, 1 -2u,,), where f(u~) = u~(u,, -1)(a -u,,) and a, d are parameters. We determine a propagating front initiated by the following boundary and initial conditions: u~ = 1 (
A numerical approach to modeling a biochemical system that includes processes with significantly different time scales has been developed within the Virtual Cell environment (J. Schaff et al., 1997, Biophys. J. 73, 1135). The key features of the algorithm are time splitting of slow and fast processe
