  • Abstract
    In this paper we propose the use of rational Lyapunov functions to estimate the domain of attraction of the tumor dormancy equilibrium of immune cells-malignant cells interaction dynamics. A procedure for computing rational Lyapunov functions is worked out, with focus on obtaining a meaningful domain of attraction for the considered tumor dynamics. A valid, nonconvex domain of attraction was obtained, which is consistent with non-trivial tumor evolutions from real-life.
