Abstract
We investigate four models coming from biological contexts. The first one concerns a model describing the growth of a population of tumors. This model leads to a McKendrick–Von Foerster equation : a conservation law with a non–local boundary condition. We prove the existence and unicity of a solution, then we study, using the general relative entropy, its asymptotic behavior. We provide numerical simulations using WENO scheme. The second part concerns the modelisation of the respiration. First we study the air flux in the bronchial tree using a mulstiscale model. The system present non–usual dissipative boundary conditions. The numerical scheme we use is based on a decomposition idea that reduce the system to the resolution of Stokes problems with standard Dirichlet–Neumann conditions. Then, we propose a model concerning the gas exchanges bringing to light the heterogeneity of the absorption of oxygen along the bronchial tree. The third part concerns the MAPK cascade in Xenopus oocytes. The modelisation leads to an equation of KPP type. A mathematical study shows the existence of travelling waves. Then we provide a detailed numerical study of the system. Finally, the last part, concerns the system of Patlak–Keller–Segel 1D after blow–up. The mathematical study provide a description of the system after blow–up, based on the notion of default meausure. Then we propose a numerical scheme, adopting the optimal transport viewpoint and allowing to simulate the system after blow–up.
