Resonance and Anti-Resonance: From Mathematical Theory to Clinical Cancer Treatment Design

Models of population dynamics, under various distributions of environmentally-inflicted loss processes, suggest that population persistence depends on the level of synchronization of the environmental and population processes. Population growth is maximized when disturbance periodicity is an integer or fractional multiple of the population characteristic periodicity. This Resonance Phenomenon is observed in as diverse models as those of mussels in the intertidal zone under harsh weather regimes, those of humans exposed to pulsed measles In ”Handbook of Cancer Models With Applications to Cancer Screening, Cancer treatment and Risk Assessment” World Scientific, To appear
