• Existence and convergence of stochastic processes underlying a thin layer approximation of a coupled bulk-surface PDE 

  Bobrowski, Adam; Madzvamuse, Anotida; Ratajczyk, Elżbieta (Elsevier, 2025-05)

  We study a system of coupled bulk-surface partial differential equations (BS-PDEs), describing changes in concentration of certain proteins (Rho GTPases) in a living cell. These proteins, when activated, are bound to the ...
