lgca.nove_ib_interactions.go_or_grow(lgca)

Evolutionary go-or-grow interaction.

Cells stochastically switch between a migratory and a resting phenotype according to a sigmoidal function of the local density (tanh_switch) with individual parameters kappa and theta. Resting cells proliferate with a constant rate r_b and all cells die with rate r_d. Offspring inherit the mother’s switching parameters with Gaussian noise.

Parameters:

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

Returns:
