Cover Story: Formation and evolution of biological transport networks, such as leaf venation in plants, can be modeled as a constrained energy minimization problem. In the continuum description, the corresponding gradient flow leads to an elliptic-parabolic system of partial differential equations. The local network conductivity can be formulated either as a vector field or a symmetric positive definite tensor field. We compare numerically the two approaches and offer results of systematic simulations which provide insights into how these two formulations differ. View this paper

Comparison of Two Aspects of a PDE Model for Biological Network Formation

  • Clarissa Astuto,
  • Daniele Boffi,
  • Jan Haskovec,
  • Peter Markowich and
  • Giovanni Russo

We compare the solutions of two systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), seen as two different interpretations of the same model which describes the formation of complex biological networks. Both approaches take into account the time evoluti...
