Complex Dynamics Arising
in Biological Modeling
The purphose of this minisymposium is 2-fold, first, to highlight important
and significant modeling that have made an impact on biological research, and
second, to present some of the mathematical methods which arise from applications
involving complicated dynamical structures. These methods include things such as
optimal controls as well as non-linear techniques to uncover bifurcation
structures and their related dynamics. Standard numerical procedures are
sometimes inadequate to cope with the particular problems, and different
approaches must be developed to address these issues.
