报告简介:
In this talk, a brief description of ion channels and the background of Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) models are provided. Focusing on the key structure of ion channels, a one-dimensional PNP model is derived, from which qualitative properties of ionic flows can be studied in great details. The main idea of Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory is introduced, which is the main tool to study the PNP system. As an example, the theory is applied to a simple case of Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with two ion species, one positively charged and one negatively charged. Finally, interesting research topics and some obtained results related to ion channel problems are discussed.
