Predicting stellar evolution and life cycle of a star



Is there a way to model/predict the evolution and life cycle of a star based on certain initial conditions? That is, whether it will become a red giant, brown dwarf, etc. I'm basically looking for equations defining the progress of different star-types and how varying initial conditions may affect that progress.
