Abstract

With the aid of the maximum principle (Butkovosky 1969) and using the finite difference method, a theoretical investigation on the strategy for achieving a beneficial rise in temperature of a tumour due to induced microwaves is considered by controlling the surface temperature of the tissue consisting of skin, fat, muscle and tumour layers. A numerical calculation is evaluated for typical tissue.
