متن کاملPeriodic solutions of logistic type population model with harvesting
We consider a bifurcation problem arising from population biology du(t) dt = f(u(t))− εh(t), where f(u) is a logistic type growth rate function, ε ≥ 0, h(t) is a continuous function of period T such that ∫ T 0 h(t)dt > 0. We prove that there exists an ε0 > 0 such that the equation has exactly two T -periodic solutions when 0 < ε < ε0, exactly one T -periodic solution when ε = ε0, and no T -peri...
متن کاملCompartmental Model for Cancer Evolution: Chemotherapy and Drug Resistance
In this paper, a model is presented that explores the role of drug resistance in the evolution of cancer subject to treatment with a single cytotoxic agent. An important feature of this model is that it is designed to start from a single cell and generate the evolution of the cancer. From this perspective, the roles of intrinsic or natural occurring resistance as well as that of acquired resist...
متن کاملDelay-induced periodic phenomenon in a diffusive regulated logistic model
The diffusive logistic growth model with time delay and feedback control is considered. First, the well-posedness and permanence of solutions are discussed by using some comparison techniques. Then, the sufficient conditions for stability of nonnegative constant steady states are established, and the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation at positive steady state is performed. Next, the bifurcation pro...
متن کاملMechanisms of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy.
The management of cancer involves procedures, which include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Development of chemoresistance is a persistent problem during the treatment of local and disseminated disease. A plethora of cytotoxic drugs that selectively, but not exclusively, target actively proliferating cells include such diverse groups as DNA alkylating agents, antimetabolites, intercalat...
