Existence and Stability of Limit Cycles in a Two-delays Modelof Hematopoiesis Including Asymmetric Division
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2014
Abstract
A two dimensional two-delays differential system modeling the dynamics of stem-like cellsand white-blood cells in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia is considered. All three types ofstem cell division (asymmetric division, symmetric renewal and symmetric differentiation)are present in the model. Stability of equilibria is investigated and emergence ofperiodic solutions of limit cycle type, as a result of a Hopf bifurcation, is eventuallyshown. The stability of these limit cycles is studied using the first Lyapunovcoefficient.
