Abstract: | We propose a two-species infection model, in which an infected aggregate can gain one monomer from a healthy one due to infection when they meet together. Moreover, both the healthy and infected aggregates may lose one monomer because of self-death, but a
healthy aggregate can spontaneously yield a new monomer. Consider
a simple system in which the birth/death rates are directly
proportional to the aggregate size, namely, the birth and death
rates of the healthy aggregate of size k are J1k and
J2k while the self-death rate of the infected aggregate of size k is J3k. We then investigate the kinetics of such a system by means of rate equation approach. For the
J1>>J2 case, the aggregate
size distribution of either species approaches the generalized
scaling form and the typical size of either species increases
wavily at large times. For the
J1=J2 case, the size distribution of healthy aggregates approaches the generalized
scaling form while that of infected aggregates satisfies the
modified scaling form. For the
J1<>J2 case, the size distribution of healthy aggregates satisfies the modified scaling form, but that of infected aggregates does not scale. |
