Higher-order parallel methods for a model of percutaneous drug absorption

Abstract

A number of parallel algorithms based on higher-order Padé approximations are developed for the numerical solution of a mathematical model of percutaneous drug absorption. These methods are L _o-stable and require only the application of tridiagonal solvers with complex arithmetic.

Keywords:

• Padé approximant
• parallel algorithm
• percutaneous drug absorption
