Abstract

We use a simple model for biological aging to study the mortality of the population, obtaining a good agreement with the Gompertz law. We also simulate the same model on a square lattice, considering different strategies of parental care. The results are in agreement with those obtained earlier with the more complicated Penna model for biological aging. Finally, we present the sexual version of this simple model.
