Figure 3

Size at birth l b (in units of l0) as a function of the cell generation (numerical simulations, 150 trajectories). In all cases α = 0.1. The light colors stand for individual trajectories and solid colors for the average. Red and blue trajectories indicate cells with an initial condition l(t0) = 20l0 and l0 respectively. (a–d) Panels stand for different division patterns: binomial, uniform, inverse binomial, and division by the middle respectively. In all cases size convergence is achieved after few generations such that 〈l b 〉 = 1/α = Δl.
