Reaction-Diffusion: Physiochemical process in which especially the spread of entities is driven by a combination of random motion and in situ

Discussion

<p>Reaction-diffusion predominates as a means of mathematically modeling phage plaque formation. See by contrast stochastic cellular automata, i.e., cellular automata models of plaque formation. For reviews and references, see Krone and Abedon (2008) and Abedon and Culler (2007).
