Abstract:
:In this paper we consider cell cycle models for which the transition operator for the evolution of birth mass density is a simple, linear dynamical system with a stochastic perturbation. The convolution model for a birth mass distribution is presented. Density functions of birth mass and tail probabilities in n-th generation are calculated by a saddle-point approximation method. With these probabilities, representing the probability of exceeding an acceptable mass value, we have more control over pathological growth. A computer simulation is presented for cell proliferation in the age-dependent cell cycle model. The simulation takes into account the fact that the age-dependent model with a linear growth is a simple linear dynamical system with an additive stochastic perturbation. The simulated data as well as the experimental data (generation times for mouse L) are fitted by the proposed convolution model.
