Comparative analysis of continuum angiogenesis models (Q2659045)

This paper is devoted to a comparison of two models of angiogenesis, i.e. the emergence of new blood vessels. Both models are based on partial differential equations. The first is a phenomenological ``snail-trail'' model, the second ``coarse-grained'' mean field type system is derived from microscopic considerations. The comparison is performed using analytic methods (perturbation theory) and numerical simulations.
