Abstract

The Verhulst’s differential equation is used to analyze cancer cell population in the existence of correlated white noise. We discuss the steady state properties of tumor cell growth and discuss the effect of correlated noise. We have obtained steady state probability function for tumor cell population from Fokker-Planck equation. The study reveals that as degree of correlation of the noise increases tumor cells died out.
