Abstract excerpt
In 1995 Penna introduced a simple model of biological aging. A modified Penna model has been demonstrated to exhibit behavior of real-life systems including catastrophic senescence in salmon and a mortality plateau at advanced ages. We present a general steady-state, analytic solution to the Penna model which is able to deal with arbitrary birth and survivability functions. This solution is employed to solve...
