X Abstract

Mathematical modeling of growing multicellular structures creates the problem of solving systems of equations in which not only the values of variables, but the equations themselves, may change over time. We consider this problem in the framework of Lindenmayer systems, a standard formalism for modeling plants, and show how parametric context-sensitive L-systems can be used to numerically solve growing systems of coupled differential equations. We illustrate our technique with a developmental model of the multicellular bacterium Anabaena.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
