Stochastic Dynamics of Confined Microswimmers
A talk in the Oberseminar Numerik series by
Alvaro Mateos-Gonzalez
| Abstract: |
Motile biological cells such as E. coli bacteria and spermatozoa that
move in confined fluids seem to be attracted by the boundaries of
their domain. I will introduce two different mathematical models of
the physical phenomena involved that are each able to describe the
observations with accuracy, but whose range of validity is not fully
known.
I will then explore certain advantages of a stochastic
variational inequalities approach coupled with stochastic control
that I am using in an ongoing work with J. Fu, L. Mertz and M. Tang.
