RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A second-order numerical method for a cell population model with asymmetric division A1 Angulo Torga, Óscar A1 López Marcos, Juan Carlos A1 López Marcos, Miguel Ángel K1 Análisis numérico K1 Población AB Population balance models represent an accurate and general way of describing the complicateddynamics of cell growth. In this paper we study the numerical integration of a modelfor the evolution of a size-structured cell population with asymmetric division. We presentand analyze a novel and efficient second-order numerical method based on the integrationalong the characteristic curves. We prove the optimal rate of convergence of the schemeandweratify it by numerical simulation. Finally,weshow that the numerical scheme servesas a valuable tool in order to approximate the stable size distribution of the model.
