Discrete attachment to a cellulolytic biofilm modeled by an Itô stochastic differential equation

We propose a mathematical framework for introducing random attachment of bacterial cells in a deterministic continuum model of cellulosic biofilms. The underlying growth model is a highly nonlinear coupled PDE-ODE system. It is regularised and discretised in space. Attachment is described then via a...
