Vegetatively propagated peppermint (Mentha piperita L., cv. Black Mitcham) was used to determine the effects of night temperatures (8°C vs 25°C) on the plant growth in terms of fresh weight and leaf area, and on metabolite contents. The plants were sampled after 14 days, 21 days and 28 days in...
Describing functions have traditionally been used to obtain the
solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations. In this
work the describing function concept has been extended to include
nonlinear, distributed parameter partial differential equations. A
three-stage solution algorithm is presented which can be applied to
any nonlinear partial differential equation....
