Fig. 6: Robustness of the Allee-based algorithm to an incorrect detection of the analyte.

The plot shows H(t) and σ(t) over time t for 4 h simulated time with a low, stochastic rate σ in absence of an analyte. The algorithm is seen to not incorrectly amplify the detection of the analyte: the H cell density H remains low throughout the simulation. Simulation parameters: P = 1.5 ⋅ 10⁸ mL⁻¹, ρ = 14 h, κ = 35 h, K = 8 ⋅ 10⁷ mL⁻¹, n = 4, β = 0.5, and γ = 2. The parameters α_f (see Theorem 1) and σ_c are shown as horizontal lines.
