Analytic bounds for solutions of a class of boundary value problems in physiology

A method of obtaining pointwise upper and lower bounds for the solutions of a general class of nonlinear boundary value problems is discussed. As a illustrative example, this method is shown to yield sharp polynomial approximations to the solution of the oxygen diffusion problem in spherical cells w...

Zusammenfassung:A method of obtaining pointwise upper and lower bounds for the solutions of a general class of nonlinear boundary value problems is discussed. As a illustrative example, this method is shown to yield sharp polynomial approximations to the solution of the oxygen diffusion problem in spherical cells with oxygen uptake by Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
