Analytical study of temperature oscillations in living tissues.
A nonlinear, time-delay differential equation is postulated as a possible structure to describe the temperature dynamics at a point inside living tissue. The presented analysis explains how this differential equation can lead to four different temperature response types that have been previously observed in vivo.
