cellgrowth: Function implementing a growth model of a human cell

Description

The generic function cellgrowth implements different growth models for an object of class Human.

Usage

cellgrowth(object, population, j, occupyM, fbasol, tstep)

# S4 method for Human cellgrowth(object, population, j, occupyM, fbasol, tstep)

Arguments

object

An object of class Human.

population

An object of class Arena.

j

The number of the iteration of interest.

occupyM

A matrix indicating grid cells that are obstacles

fbasol

Problem object according to the constraints and then solved with optimizeProb.

tstep

A number giving the time intervals for each simulation step.

Value

Boolean variable of the jth individual indicating if individual died.

Details

Linear growth of organisms is implemented by adding the calculated growthrate by optimizeLP to the already present growth value. Exponential growth of organisms is implemented by adding the calculated growthrate multiplied with the current growth calculated by optimizeLP plus to the already present growth value.
