Stochastic Dynamics of Tumor-Immune System

Abstract

In this work, a very well known tumor-immune system model from the literature, Kuznetsov et al.'s model, is converted into two different Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) models and an It\^{o} formalism of the models are obtained. Furthermore, the models are made discrete by using Euler-Maruyama scheme, simulation results of the corresponding models are investigated and compared.
