Abstract
|
 |
 |
Living tissues, such as stems, leaves and flowers in plants
and bones in animals, grow into a great variety of shapes.
In some cases, Nature has found ways to control this growth with extremely high accuracy.
In this talk I plan to discuss a few related questions, from a mathematical perspective.
What is the simplest set of PDEs that can describe controlled growth in such a variety of forms?
How can one break away from radial symmetry?
Can one recover familiar shapes of leaves and flowers as stable solutions to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem?
A few results and many open problems in this direction will be presented. |
