Abstract
Membranes are present in all cells and tissues. Mathematical models of cells and tissues need a compact mathematical description of membranes with a resolution of about 1 nm. Membranes isolate cells because ions have difficulty penetrating the dielectric barrier they create. Here we introduce a dielectric mathematical membrane condition to replace a condition that did not include dielectric properties. Our mathematical membrane condition includes a dielectric lipid bilayer punctured by channels that conduct ions selectively.
