Abstract

We show that the long time asymptotic solutions of initial value problems for linear and nonlinear mathematical models of tumor angiogenesisare self-similar spreading solutions. The symmetries of the governing equationsyield three-parameter families of these solutions given in terms of their mass,center of mass, and variance. Unlike the mass and center of mass, the variance,or ”time-shift,” of a solution is not a conserved quantity for the non linear problem

Highlights

  • In [7] a code has been used to investigate the validity of the semi-in...nite tumor assumption in an epithelial tissue model

  • The epithelial tissue model consists of three layers, which includes the top epithelium, the middle tumor and the bottom stroma

  • The porous medium equation is proposed in order to describe the distribution of the density of a substance that ‡ows through a uniformly distributed porous medium

Summary

Introduction

Let us calculate self similar solutions of the porous medium equation (1.5). It can be shown that its total mass Rn u(x; t)dx is conserved for evolution of time in the same way as for the heat equation. This preserves the total mass and is a generalization of the scaling transformation for the heat equation. Let u be a function invariant under the scaling transformation (1.7), and which preserves the total mass.
