Calcium signalingCalcium signaling is the use of calcium ions (Ca2+) to communicate and drive intracellular processes often as a step in signal transduction. Ca2+ is important for cellular signalling, for once it enters the cytosol of the cytoplasm it exerts allosteric regulatory effects on many enzymes and proteins. Ca2+ can act in signal transduction resulting from activation of ion channels or as a second messenger caused by indirect signal transduction pathways such as G protein-coupled receptors.
Analyticity of holomorphic functionsIn complex analysis, a complex-valued function of a complex variable : is said to be holomorphic at a point if it is differentiable at every point within some open disk centered at , and is said to be analytic at if in some open disk centered at it can be expanded as a convergent power series (this implies that the radius of convergence is positive). One of the most important theorems of complex analysis is that holomorphic functions are analytic and vice versa.
Antiderivative (complex analysis)In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, the antiderivative, or primitive, of a complex-valued function g is a function whose complex derivative is g. More precisely, given an open set in the complex plane and a function the antiderivative of is a function that satisfies . As such, this concept is the complex-variable version of the antiderivative of a real-valued function. The derivative of a constant function is the zero function. Therefore, any constant function is an antiderivative of the zero function.
Coloration de régionsLa coloration de régions est une technique de représentation des fonctions complexes. Le terme vient de l'anglais "domain coloring", inventé par Frank Farris aux alentours de 1998. La couleur avait déjà été utilisée plus tôt pour visualiser les fonctions complexes, en général en associant l'argument à la couleur. La technique consistant à utiliser une variation continue de couleur pour associer les points de l'ensemble de départ à l'ensemble d'arrivée ou au plan image a été utilisée en 1999 par George Abdo et Paul Godfrey.
