A Numerical Approach to the Convolution Equations of a Mathematical Model of Chemotherapy

Abstract

The new model of drug distribution in the body incorporates the exchange between the stationary and flowing phases in the large blood vessels. This introduces computationally difficult con volution terms. The method of differential approximation applied to the convolution equa tions reduces this model to a system of differ ential-difference equations which can be solved computationally.
