Morphogen reaction-diffusion equation (source code)

= Morphogen reaction-diffusion equation

A morphogen reaction-diffusion equation models a spatial concentration by diffusion and local production or decay. Linearization at a homogeneous equilibrium $C=0$ replaces $f(C)$ by $f'(0)C$.

It is a transport-and-reaction model for a <morphogen>, rather than the identity of the signaling molecule concept.
