Analytical solution of a generalized Penna model

چکیده
In 1995 T. J. Penna introduced a simple model of biological aging. A modified Penna model has been demonstrated to exhibit behaviour of real-life systems including catastrophic senescence in salmon and a mortality plateau at advanced ages. We present a general steady-state, analytic solution to the Penna model, able to deal with arbitrary birth and survivability functions. This solution is employed to solve standard variant Penna models studied by simulation. Different Verhulst factors regulating both the birth rate and external death rate are considered.

متن کاملAn Exact Solution for Lord-Shulman Generalized Coupled Thermoporoelasticity in Spherical Coordinates
In this paper, the generalized coupled thermoporoelasticity model of hollow and solid spheres under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the generalized coupled equations is presented. The thermal, mechanical and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source and the injected volume rate per unit...
متن کاملAn Analytical and Semi-analytical Study of the Oscillating Flow of Generalized Burgers’ Fluid through a Circular Porous Medium
Unsteady oscillatory flow of generalized Burgers’ fluid in a circular channel tube in the porous medium is investigated under the influence of time-dependent trapezoidal pressure gradient given by an infinite Fourier series. An exact analytical expression for the solution for the fluid velocity and the shear stress are recovered by using the similarity arguments together with the integral trans...
متن کاملPopulation dynamics in the Penna model.
We build upon the recent steady-state Penna model solution [J. B. Coe, Y. Mao, and M. E. Cates, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 288103 (2002)] to study the population dynamics within the Penna model. We show that any perturbation to the population can be broken into a collection of modes each of which decay exponentially with its respective time constant. The long time behavior of population is therefore ...
متن کاملReproducing Kernel Space Hilbert Method for Solving Generalized Burgers Equation
In this paper, we present a new method for solving Reproducing Kernel Space (RKS) theory, and iterative algorithm for solving Generalized Burgers Equation (GBE) is presented. The analytical solution is shown in a series in a RKS, and the approximate solution u(x,t) is constructed by truncating the series. The convergence of u(x,t) to the analytical solution is also proved.
