Proportion Regulation of Biological Cells in Globally Coupled Nonlinear Systems
Globally coupled activator-inhibitor systems are studied as a model of the regulation of cell proportion in biological differentiation. Formation and destabilization of one- and two-cluster states are predicted analytically. Numerical simulations show that the proportion of units in clusters falls within a finite range determined by the initial conditions.
