Abstract

We discuss a class of mathematical models of biological systemsВ at microscopic level - i.e. at the level of interacting individuals of a population. The class leads to partially integral stochastic semigroups- [5]. We state general conditions guaranteeing the asymptotic stability.В In particular under some ratherВ restrictive assumptions we observe that any, even non-factorized, initial probability density tends in the evolution to a factorized equilibrium probability density - [4]. We discuss possible applications of the general theory such as redistribution of individuals - [2], thermal denaturation of DNA [1], and tendon healing process - [3].В [1] M. Debowski, M.

Highlights

  • In the present paper we review the general class of individual–based models in Biology developed in Ref. [15] — see [3], [14], [16] and references therein

  • We show that the class corresponds to the partially integral stochastic semigroups and under some more restrictive assumptions leads to the stability result

  • (Section II) we show that exp tΛ t≥0 is a partially integral stochastic semigroup and, under some additional assumptions, leads to a stability result

Summary

MICROSCOPIC SCALE

In the present paper we review the general class of individual–based models in Biology developed in Ref. [15] — see [3], [14], [16] and references therein. We consider the general equation that defines the evolution of a number N of individuals of biological populations — cf Refs. The transition into state v of an n1–individual with state un, due to the interaction with individuals of n2,...,nm with states un2,...,unm, respectively, is described by the measurable function A[m] = A[m] M , we consider the stochastic system that is defined by the Markov jump process of N individuals through the following generator Λ acting on densities. The gain term Λ+ is a sum of terms describing the changes from state v of n1–individual into un due to the interaction with n2, ..., nm individuals with states un2, ..., unm, respectively for 2 ≤ m ≤ M and the term (m = 1).
