Is cell segregation like oil and water: Asymptotic versus transitory regime
Fig 10
The influence on the time scale is trival for the parameter d, and non trival for the parameter db.
Shown is, for a constant β* = 3 and random initial conditions ξ with a 50/50 cell type ratio, the color coded sum λ0 of all heterotypic transitions rates. In direction of (1, 1, 1)T, the value of λ decreases and therefore the simulation time Δtswap for two neighboring heterotypic cells to change positions increases. In direction of (−1, 0, 1)T, the time dependency is nontrivial, but symmetric to db = 0.
