XPPAUT Differential Equations Tool B.Ermentrout & J.Rinzel
Preliminary Remarks • Nonlinear ODEs do not usually have closed form solutions • Numerical solutions are needed • Qualitative analysis: phase plane analysis, bifurcation analysis,stability of steady states • XPPAUT can do all that for us! FOR FREE!
Focus of this presentation: We will use XPPAUT for solving : -FitzHugh-Nagumo model of excitable membrane -Population growth model with time delay -Model of intracellular Calcium regulation
Fitzhugh-Nagumo Neuron[2 & 3.p161-163 & 4.p422-431] • Simple model of an excitable membrane:
Population Growth Model[3.p2-9] • Simple model of growth:
Introduction of Time Delay • No closed-form solution available • Dynamic is more interesting
Calcium RegulationProc.Natl.Acad.Sci. U.S.A. (1990) 78,1461-1465
Role of IP3( ) • Base parameter values are:
Conclusion • XPPAUT is a powerful tool for: • Solving ordinary and delay differential equations • Understanding the solution through bifurcation analysis.
