Dynamics of antibody levels: asymptotic properties. (English) Zbl 1491.92119

Summary: We study properties of a piecewise deterministic Markov process modeling the changes in concentration of specific antibodies. The evolution of densities of the process is described by a stochastic semigroup. The long-time behavior of this semigroup is studied. In particular, we prove theorems on its asymptotic stability.
