Biological competition: Decision rules, pattern formation, and oscillations.
Competition solves a universal problem about pattern processing by cellular systems. Competition allows cells to automatically retune their sensitivity to avoid noise and saturation effects. All competitive systems induce decision schemes that permit them to be classified. Systems are identified that achieve global pattern formation, or decision-making, no matter how their parameters are chosen...
متن کاملPattern formation by competition: a biological example.
We present a simple model based on a reaction-diffusion equation to explain pattern formation in a multicellular bacterium (Streptomyces). We assume competition for resources as the basic mechanism that leads to pattern formation; in particular we are able to reproduce the spatial pattern formed by bacterial aerial mycelium in the case of growth in minimal (low resources) and maximal (large res...
متن کاملGeometry and boundary control of pattern formation and competition
This paper presents the effective control of the formation and competition of cellular patterns. Simulation and theoretical analyses are carried out for pattern formation in a confined circular domain. The Cahn–Hilliard equation is solved with the zero-flux boundary condition to describe the phase separation of binary mixtures. A wavelet-based discrete singular convolution algorithm is employed...
متن کاملMultiscale modeling of biological pattern formation.
In the past few decades, it has become increasingly popular and important to utilize mathematical models to understand how microscopic intercellular interactions lead to the macroscopic pattern formation ubiquitous in the biological world. Modeling methodologies come in a large variety and presently it is unclear what is their interrelationship and the assumptions implicit in their use. They ca...
متن کاملModeling Biological Pattern Formation in Embryology
The mechanisms that generate pattern and form in embryogenesis are unknown. Realistic modeling tries to incorporate known biological facts into coherent and rational physicochemical model mechanisms that orchestrate the pattern formation process. Such models can be used to provide the developmental biologist with possible scenarios for how biological pattern and form are created and to suggest ...
