چکیده

We present and analyze a parallel method for the solution of partial diierential equation models of the nervous system. These models mathematically are one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic equations deened on branching domains. Implicit methods for these equations leads to numerical solution of diagonally dominant almost tridiagonal linear systems at each time step. We rst review some exact methods for the solution of these linear systems that includes an Exact Domain Decomposition. This EDD leads to the solution of many tridiagonal linear systems one for each branch. The sizes of these systems is equal to the number of grid points on the branch. Since the branches of realistic neurons vary widely in size, the decomposition leads to a very poor a priori load balance. This problem may be solved with the Overlapped Partition Method, a method for decomposing large diagonally dominant tridiagonal systems. We describe and analyze an algorithm based on EDD and OPM that can be load balanced.

Nonlinear Cable equation, Fractional differential equation, Radial point interpolation method, Meshless local Petrov – Galerkin, Stability analysis

The cable equation is one the most fundamental mathematical models in the neuroscience, which describes the electro-diffusion of ions in denderits. New findings indicate that the standard cable equation is inadequate for describing the process of electro-diffusion of ions. So, recently, the cable model has been modified based on the theory of fractional calculus. In this paper, the two dimensio...
