2. Leaf compartment: the most distal compartment of a leaf

3. Parent compartment (non-soma): compartment N of a child branch whose
parent is another branch

4. Parent compartment (soma): compartment N of a root branch

5. Branch compartment: the first compartment of a parent branch

6. Soma

For clarity in the following derivations I will drop the branch subscript b and in-
stead will indicate quantities by their compartment index k. Thus here α⅛ should be
interpreted as α(a⅛), and similarly for u⅛.

1: Interior compartment

From the main cable equation we compute the partial derivative term as

¾(α²(^)¾∙υ) = α²(τ)‰ + 2a(x)a_xv_x.

Using the standard discretization scheme for the second partial derivative and cen-
