Abstract
In this paper, two types of cellular automata are studied in order to describe the 2-dimensional free growth of an avascular tumor under the effect of a limited nutrient source. On one hand a deterministic cellular automata approach is used. On the other hand a stochastic one is presented. An existing reaction-diffusion model including cell proliferation, motility and death is used. Finally, a numerical simulations that show the difference between these approaches are discussed.
