We approximate, up to arbitrary precision, the distribution of division times and size across time for the adder strategy in rod-shaped bacteria cells. Our approach is able to compute statistical moments like mean size and its variance from such distributions efficiently, showing close match with numerical simulations. Additionally, we observed that these distributions have periodic properties. Our approach further might shed light on the mechanisms behind gene product homeostasis.
