This paper deals with the estimation of regions of attraction (RoAs) for a cancer dynamical model. The estimation of this type of sets is very interesting in the field of control for cancer dynamics, since it provides the set of possible initial health indicators, for which there exists a treatment protocol allowing to heal the patient. Therefore, we propose a methodology to estimate the region of attraction of a nonlinear dynamical system describing the interaction between a tumor, the immune system and combined therapies of cancer. Then, we use the characterization of the RoA for a given model parameters vector, in order to derive an estimation of an outer approximation of the robust RoA under parametric uncertainties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
