Abstract:
This paper focuses on a differential equation logistic model simulating tumor growth. We design a kind of tumor dynamic growth model with one-dimensional cellular automata. A discrete logistic model is developed from the continuous logistic model. Based on others' work, we design discrete mathematical growth dynamic model with cellular automaton. In terms of discrete model, we design stochastic evolving rules of cellular automaton. And this paper simulates the tumor growth dynamic model with cellular automata. The theoretic analysis and results of cellular automaton model are in agreement with data from the ideal differential equation logistic growth of cancer.
