Detailed Description

A simple update rule class to represent simple chemotaxis in the positive x y z direction for use in Potts based simulations.

Note this currently assumes cells don't grow, i.e the target volume is constant for each cell over time.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>

ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule< DIM >::ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule ( )

Constructor.

template<unsigned DIM>

ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule< DIM >::~ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule ( )

Destructor.

template<unsigned DIM>

double ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule< DIM >::EvaluateHamiltonianContribution	(	unsigned	currentNodeIndex,
		unsigned	targetNodeIndex,
		PottsBasedCellPopulation< DIM > &	rCellPopulation
	)		`[virtual]`

Assigns a greater propensity for moving in an increasing x, y (and z) direction.

Parameters:

currentNodeIndex	The index of the current node/lattice site
targetNodeIndex	The index of the target node/lattice site
rCellPopulation	The cell population

Returns:: The difference in the Hamiltonian with the configuration of the target node having the same spin as the current node with the current configuration. i.e H_1-H_0

template<unsigned DIM>

void ChemotaxisPottsUpdateRule< DIM >::OutputUpdateRuleParameters ( out_stream & rParamsFile ) [virtual]

Parameters:

rParamsFile the file stream to which the parameters are output
