A SURVEY OF STRUCTURED CELL-POPULATION DYNAMICS

A survey of three types of cell population models is presented in this paper. The main issue in all the surveyed works is whether or not the re exists; a stable type distribution (s.t.d). In the last few years, many efforts were directed towards describing the most general models which still exhibit s.t.d. Progress made in the case of size density m odels are discussed. A slightly extended version of a time continous d aughter cell model, studied in Arino et al. (1991), is presented. Rece ntly, some authors have undertaken the task of comparing models of var ious origins and types. Such works are alluded to in a discussion.
