Distribution of Growth Rate and Escape Probability from an Attractor
(A) The distribution of growth rate. Starting from randomly chosen 105 initial conditions, the distribution of growth rates after 105 time steps are computed with and without noise (σ = 0.2).
(B) Relationship between the growth rate vg and the probability to escape an attractor within a certain period of time. The probability is computed by 105 trials starting from randomly chosen initial conditions. After a cell reaches a stable state, noise (σ = 0.2) is added, and the time it takes the cell to escape from the corresponding attractor is measured. The y-axis represents the probability that the cellular state is kicked out of the original state within 103 time steps, and the horizontal axis shows the growth rate vg of the original state.
