Continuing our journey with forward-backward equations: is the mapof our route a ‘simple’ graph?
Functional differential equations are used in the modelling of nerve conduction. In the seminar we will consider the questions: a) Which equations are used? b) What modelling assumptions are made in the derivation of the models? c) Why and how are mixed type functional equations involved? We will also consider mixed type functional equations with multiple delay and advance terms which, in some applications, may lead to a more realistic mathematical model of a problem. We will consider some aspects of, and issues relating to, our current work in this area.
