Abstract
The work is devoted to the computational algorithm for a problem of plant growth. The plant is represented as a system of connected intervals corresponding to branches. We compute the concentration distributions inside the branches. The originality of the problem is that the geometry of the plant is not a priori given. It evolves in time depending on the concentrations of plant hormones found as a solution of the problem. New branches appear in the process of plant growth. The algorithm is adapted to an arbitrary plant structure and an arbitrary number of branches.
