On Data Space Selection and Data Processing for Parameter Identification in a Reaction-Diffusion Model Based on FRAP Experiments

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a widely used measurement technique to determine the mobility of fluorescent molecules within living cells.While the experimental setup and protocol for FRAP experiments are usually fixed, data (pre)processing represents an important issue.The aim of this paper is twofold.First, we formulate and
