Perturbation Solutions of a Mathematical Model in Tumor Angiogenesis

Abstract

In this work, we obtain the regular perturbation solutions of a mathematical model in tumor angiogenesis in one and two space dimensions. Our results show that the solutions we have obtained are in good agreement with the solutions obtained by other methods. We also present our results in Matlab generated figures.
