title: Threshold conditions for a diffusive model of a myelinated axon.
abstract: This paper develops and uses comparison principles to study the time evolution of solutions to problems of the form (formula; see text) Such a system models an infinite myelinated axon with discrete, excitable nodes spaced unit distant apart.
