Abstract

In this paper, we develop a definite tumor-immune model considering Allee effect. The deterministic model is studied qualitatively by mathematical analysis method, including the positivity, boundness, and local stability of the solution. In addition, we explore the effect of random factors on the transition of the tumor-immune system from a stable coexistence equilibrium point to a stable tumor-free equilibrium point. Based on the method of stochastic averaging, we obtain the expressions of the steady-state probability density and the mean first-passage time. And we find that the Allee effect has the greatest impact on the number of cells in the system when the Allee threshold value is within a certain range; the intensity of random factors could affect the likelihood of the system crossing from the coexistence equilibrium to the tumor-free equilibrium.
