On applications of conservation laws in pharmacokinetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
There has been certain criticism raised by A. Rescigno [2,8,9,12-15] against the standard formulation of pharmacokinetics. In 2011 it has been suggested that inconsistencies in pharmacokinetics should be eliminated after deriving “pharmacokinetic parameters” from conservation laws [3]. In the following text a simple system of conservation laws for extra vascular administration of a drug is explicitly given and preliminary discussion concerning this issue is included.

On modelling of bioavailability of drugs in terms of conservation laws
In the text S.Piekarski, M.Rewekant, “On applications of conservation laws in pharmacokinetics”,(arXiv:1208.3847) it has been mentioned that some information on bioavailability and bioequivalence of drugs can be obtained from simulations based on the conservation laws. Here we shortly discuss that possibility starting from the fundamental pharmacokinetic parameter called AUC (Area Under the Cur...
متن کاملOn Black-Scholes equation; method of Heir-equations, nonlinear self-adjointness and conservation laws
In this paper, Heir-equations method is applied to investigate nonclassical symmetries and new solutions of the Black-Scholes equation. Nonlinear self-adjointness is proved and infinite number of conservation laws are computed by a new conservation laws theorem.
متن کاملSymmetry group, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation
In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
متن کاملThe comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...
متن کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...
