Effects of non-Gaussian noise on the dynamical properties of a logistic system

The dynamical properties of a tumor cell growth system described by the logistic system with coupling between non-Gaussian and Gaussian noise terms are investigated. The effects of the nonextensive index q on the stationary properties and the transient properties are discussed, respectively. The results show that the nonextensive index q can induce the tumor cell numbers decrease greatly in the case of q>1. Moreover, the switch from the steady stable state to the extinct state is speeded up as the increases of q, and the tumor cell numbers can be more obviously restrained for a large value of q. The numerical results are found to be in basic agreement with the theoretical predictions.
