Program
Motivated by a range of biological problems we introduce methods from stochastic modeling–in particular Markov processes–, and transport equations on networks or complex geometries. By inspecting the solutions of these problems the participants will gain insight into classifying solutions of non-linear models, the impact of different types of noise on the solutions, and the limitations of continuum descriptions.
