In this thesis we provide a convergence analysis for this scheme in the context of some standard models from neuroscience. We provide several computational examples to further study the accuracy. We also briefly consider a simple model of neuronal network activity waves. There are two major parts to this dissertation. The first part concentrates on the error analysis of the exponential Euler scheme. The basic scheme is first order accurate. A second order modification is introduced. We also show how this exponential Euler method can be applied to mathematical models of neuronal networks that involve integro-differential equations. We prove a convergence theorem for this case. The second part of this dissertation focuses on the modeling of retinal waves in the visual cortex. We propose a firing rate model for amacrine cells. 2005-07-13 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1116256339 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1116256339 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
