A nonlinear structured population model of tumor growth with quiescence. (English) Zbl 0744.92026

Summary: A nonlinear structured cell population model of tumor growth is considered. The model distinguishes between two types of cells within the tumor: proliferating and quiescent. Within each class the behavior of individual cells depends on cell size, whereas the probabilities of becoming quiescent and returning to the proliferative cycle are in addition controlled by total tumor size. The asymptotic behavior of solutions of the full nonlinear model, as well as some linear special cases, is investigated using spectral theory of positive semigroups of operators.
