We describe a general scheme of derivation of the Vlasov-type equations for Markov evolutions of particle systems in continuum. This scheme is based on a proper scaling of corresponding Markov generators and has an algorithmic realization…
A stochastic genetic model for biological aging is introduced bridging the gap between the bit-string Penna model and the Pletcher-Neuhauser approach. The phenomenon of exponentially increasing mortality function at intermediate ages and…
Gene expression is a stochastic process in which cells produce biomolecules essential to the function of life. Modern experimental methods allow for the measurement of biomolecules at single-cell and single-molecule resolution over time.…
Cell size is a fundamental determinant of cellular physiology, influencing processes such as growth, division, and function. In this study, we develop a segmented mathematical framework to investigate how different control mechanisms…
We propose and analyze a nonlinear age-structured multi-species model that serves as a unifying framework for ecological and biotechnological systems in complex environments (microbial communities, bioreactors, and others). The formulation…
A general theory is developed to study individual based models which are discrete in time. We begin by constructing a Markov chain model that converges to a one-dimensional map in the infinite population limit. Stochastic fluctuations are…
We show that each member of a broad class of Markovian population models induces a unique stochastic process on the space of genealogies. We construct this genealogy process and derive exact expressions for the likelihood of an observed…
Aging, the process of growing old or maturing, is one of the most widely seen natural phenomena in the world. For the stochastic processes, sometimes the influence of aging can not be ignored. For example, in this paper, by analyzing the…
If we follow an asexually reproducing population through time, then the amount of time that has passed since the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all current individuals lived will change as time progresses. The resulting "MRCA age"…
For non-equilibrium systems described by finite Markov processes, we consider the number of times that a system traverses a cyclic sequence of states (a cycle). The joint distribution of the number of forward and backward instances of any…
A simple mathematical model of the aging process for long-lived organisms is considered. The key point in this model is the assumption that the body does not have internal clocks that count out the chronological time at scales of decades.…
We consider linear age-structured population equations with diffusion. Supposing maximal regularity of the diffusion operator, we characterize the generator and its spectral properties of the associated strongly continuous semigroup. In…
We reconsider the deterministic haploid mutation-selection equation with two types. This is an ordinary differential equation that describes the type distribution (forward in time) in a population of infinite size. This paper establishes…

In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear stochastic model to describe the propagation of information inside a computer processor. In this model, a computational task is divided into stages, and information can flow from one stage to another.…
A stochastic treatment yielding to the derivation of a general Fokker-Planck equation is presented to model the slow convergence towards equilibrium of mean-field systems due to finite-N effects. The thermalization process involves notably…
We consider the mean-field approximation of an individual-based model describing cell motility and proliferation, which incorporates the volume exclusion principle, the go-or-grow hypothesis and an explicit cell cycle delay. To utilise the…
We are interested in modeling some two-level population dynamics, resulting from the interplay of ecological interactions and phenotypic variation of individuals (or hosts) and the evolution of cells (or parasites) of two types living in…
The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence of periodic solutions for a nonautonomous differential-difference system describing the dynamics of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population under some external periodic regulatory…
One of the central tasks in many-body physics is the determination of phase diagrams. However, mapping out a phase diagram generally requires a great deal of human intuition and understanding. To automate this process, one can frame it as a…
