Abstract
Black and white cells are positioned at the vertices of a rectangular lattice. When a cell division occurs, the daughter cells are of the same colour as the parent cell; one of them replaces an adjacent cell and the other remains in the position of the parent cell. In one variant of the model it is assumed that whenever a white cell appears at the origin it is transformed into a black cell; apart from this the black and white cells are equally competitive and in particular they divide at the same rate. Initially, only the cell at the origin is black. The asymptotic behaviour of the black clone is investigated.Keywords
