Existence of and decay to equilibrium of the filament end density along the leading edge of the lamellipodium

A model for the dynamics of actin filament ends along the leading edge of the lamellipodium is analyzed. It contains accounts of nucleation by branching, of deactivation by capping, and of lateral flow along the leading edge by polymerization. A nonlinearity arises from a Michaelis–Menten type model...
