lgca.nove_ib_interactions.birthdeath(lgca)

Birth and death step with heterogenous proliferation rates.

Cells divide according to their individual birth rate and the available capacity, while every cell dies with probability r_d. The proliferation rate of each daughter cell is drawn from a truncated Gaussian distribution around the mother’s rate.

Parameters:

lgca (object) – Lattice-gas cellular automaton that will be modified in-place.

Returns:
