Patches of Finite Elements for Singularly-Perturbed Diffusion Reaction Equations with Discontinuous Coefficients

Abstract

Summary. Mechanical modeling of living tissues is currently one of the most crucial challenges in research for mechanical engineers and mathematicians. Mechanics is a key factor to understanding the mechanisms that regulate many biological processes, such as mitosis, migration, and differentiation. This work aims to present the most crucial aspects, in the authors' opinion, to approach this challenge.
