Abstract
A modified epidemiological model in which each member of the population (element) has a finite lifetime has been discussed by Bunde and Miyazima [1–3]. By introducing the lifetime of each cell, one obtains several growing clusters with characteristic growth behavior, such as those seen in the Eden model and the self-avoiding walk, depending on the lifetime τ and inhomogeneity p of the media.
