The behavior of the solution of (5) and the approximate solution of (6) at t = 5 are depicted as dashed and continuous lines, respectively; black and red limes refer to growing and shrinking MTs, respectively. The parameters used are v1 = 0.12 μm/s, v2 = 0.19 μm/s, k1 = 0.27 1/s, k2 = 0.35 1/s, G00 = 100. The length of the photobleached area is L = 3 μm, and the short pulse width Δ = 0.15 μm. Arrows denote the direction of the G(x; t) and S(x; t) front movements
