The goal of this problem is to understand the stochastic transient dynamics of the approach to this asymptotic state. We start with a single copy of $X_1$ and no $X_i$ for $i>1$ at time zero. For large $t$ and for large enough $n$, the number of $X_j$ molecules approaches\n\\begin{equation}\n    X_j \\to \\frac{1}{n}\\left(X_{tot}+2\\, C\\cos(\\omega t+\\Phi) e^{\\lambda t}\\right),\n\\end{equation}\nwhere $X_{tot}=\\sum_j X_j$, $\\omega$ and $\\lambda$ are unknown constants, and $C$ and $\\Phi$ are random variables with unknown distributions. Physically, this says that the approach of $X_j$ to its steady exponential growth differs from that of the total population size with a relatively decaying oscillating component with the stochastic amplitude $2C$.\n\n# Main problem:\n\nFind the mean-squared value of $C$, $\\mathbb E\\left[C^2\\right]$, in terms of the model parameters $k$ and $n$, and determine how large $n$ needs to be to observe such oscillatory behavior."}
