Numerical simulation of a stroke: numerical problems and methodology

The numerical simulation of an ischemic stroke is a challenging problem: a complicated geometry, and a very stiff large system of reaction-diffusion equations. This paper, intended for mathematicians as well as for biologist, gives a survey and an introduction to the numerical methods used and some results.
