The biophysical parameter space in the context of 2D cell-packing.(A) Biophysical parameter space for the hexagonal cell following p=k _p l and a=k _a l ², with k _p=6 and $k_a=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$. (B) Biophysical parameter space for the hexagonal cell in terms of $\overline{\Lambda }$ and $\overline{\Gamma }$, adopting the notation of Farhadifar et al. [25]. Blue lines depict the analytically derived bifurcation lines, red and green circles are extracted through image analysis of Figure 1 in [25]. The green dots perfectly match the bifurcation line $\overline{\Gamma }=-\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}\sqrt[4]{3}}\overline{\Lambda }$; likewise the red dots perfectly match the bifurcation line $\overline{\Gamma }=\frac{2-3\sqrt[6]{3}{\left(\overline{\Lambda }\right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}}{8\sqrt{3}}$. We predict one more bifurcation line, $\overline{\Lambda }=0$, while in [25] region II and III are considered a single region, the so called “Hexagonal Network”.
