Model using Partial Differential Equations(PDE)

Overview

Using PDE instead of ODE allows one to take into account the space dimensions. Where in the ODE model, the concentration of auxin in a compartment was considered homogeneous, here we can represent the variations internal to the compartment. When taking into account the space dimensions, new problems arise: finding a coherent geometry, 2D vs 3D model, precision, etc. We chose to model a slice of a tadpole's tail based on images from [ADD BOOK REF]. Putting multiple such slices one after the other allows us to approximate a 3 dimensions model.
