摘要
Herein, the well-known cable equation for non-myelinated axon model is extended analytically for myelinated axon formulation. The classical cable equation is thereby modified into a linear second order ordinary differential equation with periodic coefficient, known as Hill's equation. Hill's equation exhibits periodic solutions, known as Floquet's modes. The Floquet's modes are recognized as the nerve fiber activation modes, which are conventionally associated with the nonlinear Hodgkin-Huxley formulation. They can also be incorporated in our linear model.
