Abstract
We study periodic `cyclic' solutions of a population model of the
cell cycle. In this model, clusters of cells in one fixed phase of the
cell cycle may exert a negative influence on the progress of clusters
in another phase. Previous results showed that stability
of cyclic solutions is determined by the values of model parameters $s$
and $r$, and by which of two possible orderings of certain events the cyclic solution
follows. The parameter triangle $\triangle = \{(s,r): 0 \le s \le r \le 1 \}$
is subdivided into sub-triangles on which the stability of all cyclic solutions
are the same.
The stability for sub-triangles on the boundary of $\triangle$ was fully
characterized in terms of number theoretic relationships between the number of clusters $k$
and certain indices of the sub-triangles.
Interior sub-triangles with the order of events called $\mathbf{sr1}$,
were shown to have unstable solutions.
In the present work, we focus on interior sub-triangles with the other order of events $\mathbf{rs1}$.
We show that when $k$ is prime,
then the cyclic solutions are unstable for all interior sub-triangles.
When $k$ is even, we show that there always exist a small number of sub-triangles
on which cyclic solutions are at least neutrally stable. For $k$ odd and composite,
we show that there are stable sub-triangles when $k = 9$ and $k=15$ and no
others.
