In this paper we revisit the Mackey-Glass model for blood-forming process, which was proposed to describe the spontaneous fluctuations of the blood cell counts in normal individuals and the first stage of chronic myelocytic (or granylocytic) leukemia (CML). We obtain the bifurcation diagram as a function of the time delay parameter and show that the onset of leukemia is related to instabilities associated to the presence of periodic windows in the midst of a chaotic regime. We also introduce a very simple modification in the death rate parameter in order to simulate the accumulation of cells and the progressive increase of the minima counts experimentally observed in the final stage of the disease in CML patients. The bifurcation diagram as a function of the death rate parameter is also obtained and we discuss the effects of treatments like leukapheresis.
After a general discussion of the thermodynamics of conductive processes, we introduce specific observables enabling the connection of the diffusive transport properties with the microscopic dynamics. We solve the case of Brownian particles, both ana
We explain how specific dynamical properties give rise to the limit distribution of sums of deterministic variables at the transition to chaos via the period-doubling route. We study the sums of successive positions generated by an ensemble of initia
As a counterpart to our previous study of the stationary distribution formed by sums of positions at the Feigenbaum point via the period-doubling cascade in the logistic map (Eur. Phys. J. B 87 32, (2014)), we determine the family of related distribu
Ensemble of initial conditions for nonlinear maps can be described in terms of entropy. This ensemble entropy shows an asymptotic linear growth with rate K. The rate K matches the logarithm of the corresponding asymptotic sensitivity to initial condi
The assumption that complex systems function optimally at the edge of chaos seems applicable to the international system as well. In this paper I argue that the normal chaotic war dynamic of the European international system (1495-1945) was temporari
