Analysis of a Gene Regulatory Network Model With Time Delay Using the Secant Condition
By Mehmet Eren Ahsen, Hitay Özbay, and Silviu-Iulian Niculescu
Published October 4, 2016.
A cyclic model for gene regulatory networks with time delayed negative feedback is analyzed using an extension of the so-called secant condition, which is originally developed for systems without time delays. It is shown that …
Hybrid Simulation of Heterogeneous Cell Populations
By Steffen Waldherr, Philip Trennt, and Mubashir Hussain
Published October 4, 2016.
The modeling of heterogeneous dynamic cell populations based on population balance equations is an important tool to describe the interaction between intracellular dynamics and population dynamics. However, the numerical simulation of such models remains challenging for …
