A numerical analysis of a model of growth tumor

In this paper we study a free boundary problem modeling the growth of tumors. The model uses the conventional ideas of nutrient diffusion and consumption by the cells. We consider the radially symmetric case of this free boundary problem. We apply a spectral numerical method to the system of equations.
