Long-time behaviour in a model of microtubule growth Thumbnail


Authors

Abstract

We study a continuous-time stochastic process on strings made of two types of particle, whose dynamics mimic the behaviour of microtubules in a living cell; namely, the strings evolve via a competition between (local) growth/shrinking as well as (global) hydrolysis processes. We give a complete characterization of the phase diagram of the model, and derive several criteria of the transient and recurrent regimes for the underlying stochastic process.
