The method was designed for a wide class of size structured population models as a variation of the Escalator Boxcar Train (EBT) method, which is commonly used in computational biology. The scheme under consideration bases on the kinetic approach and the split-up technique - it approximates a solution by a sum of Dirac measures at each discrete time moment. In the current paper we propose a modification of this algorithm, which prevents (possible) exponential growth of the number of Dirac Deltas approximating the solution. Our approach bases on the finite range approximation of a coefficient which describes birth processes in a population. We provide convergence results, including the convergence speed. Moreover, some results of numerical simulations for several test cases are shown.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-02T15:57:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite range method", "balance laws", "measure spaces", "finite range approximation", "escalator boxcar train" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1409.0766G" } } }
