p-Adic mathematics and theoretical biology.

p-Adic mathematics and theoretical biology. Biosystems. 2020 Nov 11;:104288 Authors: Dragovich B, Khrennikov AY, Kozyrev SV, Mišić NŽ Abstract The principal objective of this article is a brief overview of the main parts of p-adic mathematics, which have already had valuable applications and may have a significant impact in the near future on the further development of some fields of theoretical and mathematical biology. In particular, we present the basics of ultrametrics, p-adic numbers and p-adic analysis, as well as insight into their applications for modeling some cognitive processes, genetic code and protein dynamics. We also argue that ultrametric concepts and p-adic mathematics are natural tools for the viable description of biological systems and phenomena with a hierarchical structure.
