Abstract

Mathematical Immunogenetics I argued for the development of mathematics as a language for immunogenetics. A three-fold factorization of a reaction matrix was seen to be the important form of a model of a first order immunogenetic system. In the present paper, results of the authors on determining this factorization are reworked from a physical perspective and presented in an algorithmic form that can be used to compute a labeling matrix from data. Computer programs to perform these computations are in preparation.
