Mathematical Approaches To Challenges In Biology And Biomedicine

This book collects selected, peer-reviewed works presented at the International Conference on Mathematical Analysis and Applications in Science and Engineering (ICMASC), which took place at the University of Porto, Portugal, in hybrid mode on June 20–22, 2024. This book covers advancements in mathematical analysis and modeling, with an emphasis on mathematical biology. It addresses topics such as partial and ordinary differential equations, integer and fractional order equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, operations research, discrete mathematics, optimization, control, probability, and computational mathematics, to name a few. Applications range from tumor and tissue properties, infection spatial models, cancer immunotherapy, and others. The conference was dedicated to Professor J. A. Tenreiro Machado, who unexpectedly passed away in October 2021. Prof. Tenreiro was a Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, where he served as the Dean of the Institute. Additionally, he held a visiting position at the Lodz Institute of Technology, Poland, for many years. Prof. Tenreiro Machado authored 1,160 publications, including 11 books.
