Biodegradation Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Studies of Xenobiotic Polymers

An endogenous depolymerization model that include previously introduced model is proposed. It is shown that the model can be transformed into a partial differential equation of hyperbolic type, and that an associated inverse problem to determine a degradation rate problem can be solved with previously developed techniques. Once a degradation rate is found, an initial value problem was solved numerically to simulate the transition of weight distribution.
