Dynamics and numerical simulations in a production and development of red blood cells with one delay

Radouane Yafia

Abstract


In this paper we study an unstructured model of a cellular population in the spirit of Grabosh and Heijmans [2] model. The cellular population is described by a system of differential equations with one delay. The basic assumption is that the cell population responsible for the production of blood cells consists of three compartments: the stem cells, the precursor cells, and the blood cells. We prove that the model has two possible steady states and their dynamics (depending on time delay) are studied in term of the local stability. We illustrate our results with numerical simulations for some different values of the time delay.

Keywords


Red blood cells, delayed differential equations, equilibrium point, stability, oscillating solutions.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
