Cancer development can be viewed as an example of spatio-temporal pattern formation. Several attempts have been made to model and predict malignant tumor behavior and also to account for immune system response and the impact of possible clinical treatments. Modeling started from a macroscopic...

We demonstrate the power of genetic algorithms to construct a cellular automata model simulating the growth of 2D close-to-circular clusters, revealing the desired properties, such as the growth rate and, at the same time, the fractal behavior of their contours. The possible application of the...

Tumor growth has long been a target of investigation within the context of mathematical and computer modeling. The objective of this study is to propose and analyze a two-dimensional stochastic cellular automata model to describe avascular solid tumor growth, taking into account both the...
