Title
On continuous time version of two-phase cell cycle model of Tyrcha
Authors
Abstract
We consider a model of two-phase cell cycle in a maturity-structured cellular population, which consists of a system of first order linear partial differential equations (transport equations). The model is based on similar biological assumptions as models of Lasota-Mackey, Tyson-Hannsgen and Tyrcha. We examine behavior of the solutions of the system along characteristics, give conditions for existence of invariant density, and compare results with outcomes of generational model.
