متن کاملStability Analysis of Mathematical Model of Virus Therapy for Cancer
In this paper, we have analyzed a mathematical model for the study of interaction between tumor cells and oncolytic viruses. The model is analyzed using stability theory of differential equations. We gain some conditions for global stability of trivial and interior equilibrium point.

متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy
In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
