A simple method of solution for a class of bioreaction-diffusion problems

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A simple method of solution is highlighted for solving a class of bioreaction-diffusion problems. By virtue of the proposed transformation the original boundary value problem is rendered into an equivalent initial value problem. Results are comparable to conventional methods, and have lower computational time requirements.
