Delay partial differential equations arise from variousapplications, like 
biology, medicine, control theory, climate models, and many others (see 
e.g. Wu (1996) and the references therein). Their independent variables are 
time \(t\) and one or more dimensional variable \(x\ ,\) which 
usuallyrepresents position in space but may also represent relative DNA 
content, size of cells, or their maturation level,or other values. The 
solutions (dependent variables) of delay partial differential equations may 
represent temperature, voltage, orconcentrations or densities of various 
particles, for example cells, bacteria,chemicals, animals and so on.

Equation (1) is a *parabolic delay partial differential equation* with two 
delays \(\tau_1>0\) and\(\tau_2>0\ .\)It has been proposed by Wang (1963) 
to consideran automatically controlled furnace, see Fig.1 in Wang (1963). 
>From this reference,the furnace is fed by the material strip that has to be 
heat-treated witha controlled temperature.The furnace temperature is varied 
by means of a heater actuated by a heater controller.The control objective 
is to maintain a desired spatial temperature distributionin the incoming 
material, which is fed into the furnace by rollers, thespeed of which is 
regulated by a speed controller. This may be accomplished byplacing 
temperature transducers along the material strip. The transducersprovide 
information for a computer, which generates the appropriate control signals 
for the heater and feed-roller speed controllers.

Equation (3) is a *parabolic delay partial differential equation* with an 
integral over past time intervals \([t-\tau ,t]\ .\) It has been proposed 
by Green & Stech (1981)for a class of single-species population models, 
where species can diffuse. From Green & Stech (1981), the unknown function 
\(u(t,x)\) represents a size of a population at a time \(t\) and position 
\(x\ .\) The constants \(D\) and \(r\) are positive and determine rates of 
diffusion and growth, respectively. The initial and boundary conditions for 
(3) are illustrated in Figure 3.

In the first step, the partial derivatives with respect to \(x\) are 
replaced by some approximations. For example, application of the *finite 
difference method* to (3) means replacing the partial derivative with 
respect to \(x\) by the approximating 
operator\[\fracu(t,x_i-1)-2u(t,x_i)+u(t,x_i+1)h^2 \approx \frac\partial^2 
\partial x^2 u(t,x_i).\]Here, \(h\) is a step-size in \(x\)-direction and 
\(x_i\) are grid-points defined by\[x_i=ih, \quad i=0,1,\dots ,N, \quad 
h=\frac\piN.\]This discretization in \(x\) results in the following system 
of ordinary delay differential equations:\[\tag16\frac\partial 
u(t,x_i)\partial t=D\fracu(t,x_i-1)-2u(t,x_i)+u(t,x_i+1)h^2+r u(t,x_i) 
\Bigg(1-\int_-\tau ^0u(t+s,x_i)d\eta (s)\Bigg),\]

The finite difference methods (e.g. illustrated by (16)) are the most often 
applied numerical methods for the process of semi-discretization of delay 
partial differential equations, see e.g. van der Houwen et al (1986), 
Higham & Sardar (1995), and Zubik-Kowal & Vandewalle (1999). However, the 
*Galerkin 
finite elements method* has been successfully applied to (2) by Rey & 
Mackey (1993).Moreover, recent papers by Zubik-Kowal (2000), Mead & 
Zubik-Kowal (2005), and Jackiewicz & Zubik-Kowal (2006) show that 
*pseudospectral 
methods* solve delay partial differential equations with exponential 
accuracy; that is, their errors decay at exponential rates. Therefore, the 
accuracies of the finite difference and finite elements methods do not even 
come close to this exponential accuracy. Pseudospectral methods for 
non-delay and non-functional partial differential equations are 
investigated e.g. by Canuto et al. (1988).

Numerical methods for delay partial differential equations bring specific 
difficulties, which do not appear for equations without delays. For 
example, because of the delays in(1), previously computed approximations to 
\(u(\eta ,\xi)\ ,\) for all \(\xi \) and\(\bart-\max\ \tau_1,\tau_2\\leq 
\eta \leq \bart\ ,\) have to be stored so that the next approximations for 
\(t\geq \bart\) can be computed. Since the transformed \(x\)-variable in 
(2) may not be included in the \(x\)-mesh,additional approximations have to 
be constructed for \(u(t,\alpha x)\ .\) The integrals in (3) have to be 
approximated for all grid-points in the \((t,x)\)-domain.The infinite 
domain of the integration in (5) has to be decomposed by using the 
structure of the kernel \(\gamma \) so that the infinite integrals can be 
approximated by integrals over finite intervals. More details about 
numerical solutions for (4)-(5) are described by Zubik-Kowal (2006).

Delay Differential Equations emphasizes the global analysis of full 
nonlinear equations or systems. The book treats both autonomous and 
nonautonomous systems with various delays. Key topics addressed are the 
possible delay influence on the dynamics of the system, such as stability 
switching as time delay increases, the long time coexistence of 
populations, and the oscillatory aspects of the dynamics. The book also 
includes coverage of the interplay of spatial diffusion and time delays in 
some diffusive delay population models. The treatment presented in this 
monograph will be of great value in the study of various classes of DDEs 
and their multidisciplinary applications.

There is no doubt that some of the recent developments in the theory of 
DDEs have enhanced our understanding of the qualitative behavior of their 
solutions and have many applications in mathematical biology and other 
related fields. Both theory and applications of DDEs require a bit more 
mathematical maturity than their ODEs counterparts. The mathematical 
description of delay dynamical systems will naturally involve the delay 
parameter in some specified way. Nonlinearity and sensitivity analysis of 
DDEs have been studied intensely in recent years in diverse areas of 
science and technology, particularly in the context of chaotic dynamics [8, 
9].

This special issue aims at creating a multidisciplinary forum of discussion 
on recent advances in differential equations with memory such as DDEs or 
fractional-order differential equations (FODEs) in biological systems as 
well as new applications to economics, engineering, physics, and medicine. 
It provides an opportunity to study the new trends and analytical insights 
of the delay differential equations, existence and uniqueness of the 
solutions, boundedness and persistence, oscillatory behavior of the 
solutions, stability and bifurcation analysis, parameter estimations and 
sensitivity analysis, and numerical investigations of solutions.

In mathematics, *delay differential equations* (*DDEs*) are a type of 
differential equation in which the derivative of the unknown function at a 
certain time is given in terms of the values of the function at previous 
times.DDEs are also called *time-delay systems*, systems with aftereffect 
or dead-time, hereditary systems, equations with deviating argument, or 
differential-difference equations. They belong to the class of systems with 
the functional state, i.e. partial differential equations (PDEs) which are 
infinite dimensional, as opposed to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) 
having a finite dimensional state vector. Four points may give a possible 
explanation of the popularity of DDEs:[1]

Delay differential equations (DDEs) arise in a variety of areas, notably 
population dynamics, epidemiology, and control theory [1,2]. DDEs are 
typically first order initial value problems of the form $x'(t) = f(t, 
x(t), x(\tau(t)))$ with $\tau(t) \le t$, but there are also applications 
involving other delay types, as well as second- and higher-order DDEs and 
DDE boundary value problems [3,4].

The biophysics of an organism span multiple scales from subcellular to 
organismal and include processes characterized by spatial properties, such 
as the diffusion of molecules, cell migration, and flow of intravenous 
fluids. Mathematical biology seeks to explain biophysical processes in 
mathematical terms at, and across, all relevant spatial and temporal 
scales, through the generation of representative models. While non-spatial, 
ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are often used and readily 
calibrated to experimental data, they do not explicitly represent the 
spatial and stochastic features of a biological system, limiting their 
insights and applications. However, spatial models describing biological 
systems with spatial information are mathematically complex and 
computationally expensive, which limits the ability to calibrate and deploy 
them and highlights the need for simpler methods able to model the spatial 
features of biological systems.

We developed and demonstrate a method for generating spatiotemporal, 
multicellular models from non-spatial population dynamics models of 
multicellular systems. We envision employing our method to generate new ODE 
model terms from spatiotemporal and multicellular models, recast popular 
ODE models on a cellular basis, and generate better models for critical 
applications where spatial and stochastic features affect outcomes.

The ability to derive cell-based, spatiotemporal models from ordinary 
differential equation (ODE) models would enhance the utility of both types 
of models. Cell-based, spatiotemporal models can explicitly describe 
cellular and spatial mechanisms neglected by ODE models that affect the 
emergent dynamics and properties of multicellular systems, such as the 
influence of dynamic aggregate shape on diffusion-limited growth dynamics 
[16] and individual infected cells on the progression of viral infection 
[17]. Likewise, ODE models can inform cell-based, spatiotemporal models 
with efficient parameter fitting to experimental data, and can 
appropriately describe dynamics at coarser scales and distant locales with 
respect to a particular multicellular domain of interest (e.g., the 
population dynamics of a lymph node when explicitly modeling local viral 
infection). One such example is the approach of Murray and Goyal to derive 
discrete stochastic dynamics from continuous dynamical descriptions using 
the Poisson distribution in their multiscale modeling work on hepatitis B 
virus infection [18]. Likewise Figueredo et al. compared derived 
representations for mechanisms associated with early-stage cancer using 
non-spatial agent-based, ODE and stochastic differential equation modeling 
approaches and demonstrated the feasibility of generating equivalent 
mechanistic models [19]. However, to our knowledge, no well-defined general 
formalism describes systematic translation of models to the cellular scale 
from coarser scales at which spatially homogeneous, population dynamics 
models using ODEs appropriately describe a biological system. In the very 
least, the lack of consistent translation of model terms and parameters 
between spatial and non-spatial models severely inhibits the potential to 
apply the vast amount of available information and resources in non-spatial 
modeling, such as those available in BioModels [20], to spatial contexts, 
and to share validated, reproducible spatial models [21].
