Tumor cells develop different features to adapt to environmental conditions. A prominent example is the ability of tumor cells to switch between migratory and proliferative phenotypes, a phenomenon known as go-or-grow mechanism. It is…
A model for morphoelastic growth, that is, growth influenced by elastic stress, driven by the absorption of nutrients is considered. The model features a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic contribution…
Hypoxia and acidity act as environmental stressors promoting selection for cancer cells with a more aggressive phenotype. As a result, a deeper theoretical understanding of the spatio-temporal processes that drive the adaptation of tumour…
Cancer is a very complex phenomenon that involves many different scales and situations. In this paper we consider a free boundary problem describing the evolution of a tumor colony and we derive a new asymptotic model for tumor growth. We…
The amplitude equation of Gierer-Mainhardt model has been actually derived near the boundary abuot which Turing and Hopf modes exist. In a parameter region where Hopf-Turing mixed mode solution is stable, a chaotic state that generally…
In this paper we propose a systematic approach to construct mathematical models describing populations of cancer-cells at different stages of disease development. The methodology we propose is based on stochastic Concurrent Constraint…
The evolutionary effect of recombination depends crucially on the epistatic interactions between linked loci. A paradigmatic case where recombination is known to be strongly disadvantageous is a two-locus fitness landscape dis- playing…
We consider the model selection problem for a large class of time series models, including, multivariate count processes, causal processes with exogenous covariates. A procedure based on a general penalized contrast is proposed. Some…
We study a model of competition for resource through a chemostat-type model where species consume the common resource that is constantly supplied. We assume that the species and resources are characterized by a continuous trait. As already…
We propose a diffuse interface model to describe tumor as a multicomponent deformable porous medium. We include mechanical effects in the model by coupling the mass balance equations for the tumor species and the nutrient dynamics to a…
This paper is concerned with the well-posedness analysis of the Hartree-Fock system modeling the time evolution of a quantum system comprised of fermions. We consider quantum states with finite mass and finite kinetic energy, and the…
We propose a new type of diffuse interface model describing the evolution of a tumor mass under the effects of a chemical substance (e.g., a nutrient or a drug). The process is described by utilizing the variables $\varphi$, an order…
The time delayed cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response on the tumor growth has been developed on the basis of discrete approximation (2-dimensional map). The growth kinetic has been described by logistic law with growth rate being the bifurcation…
In this work, we consider a diffuse interface model for tumour growth in the presence of a nutrient which is consumed by the tumour. The system of equations consists of a Cahn--Hilliard equation with source terms for the tumour cells and a…
We consider a (degenerate) cross-diffusion model of tumor growth structured by phenotypic trait. We prove the existence of weak solutions and the incompressible limit as the pressure becomes stiff extending methods recently introduced in…
When a population inhabits an inhomogeneous environment, the fitness value of traits can vary with the position in the environment. Gene flow caused by random mating can nevertheless prevent that a sexually reproducing population splits…
This study focuses on open quasispecies systems with competition and death flow, described by modified Eigen and Crow-Kimura models. We examine the evolutionary adaptation process as a reaction to changes in rates. One of the fundamental…
The goal of feature selection is to choose the optimal subset of features for a recognition task by evaluating the importance of each feature, thereby achieving effective dimensionality reduction. Currently, proposed feature selection…
