Funded Activity Summary

Diffusion driven pattern formation and signal propagation in spatially complex excitable media. A basic understanding of the mechanisms for pattern formation, from the spots on leopards to electrical signalling of neurons, has been achieved through reaction-diffusion equations. However to obtain a complete understanding, which is vital for many applications, it is necessary to modify this mathematical model to incorporate spatial complexities in the underlying media. This project will develop a fractional calculus framework for pattern formation, including signal propagation, in spatially complex and excitable media. In a particular application we will model the way in which the signalling properties of neurons depend critically on their spatial complexity.
