Characterization of the dynamic behavior of nonlinear biosystems in the presence of model uncertainty using singular invariance PDEs: Application to immobilized enzyme and... by Nikolaos Kazantzis, Vasiliki Kazantzi

“…An exact reduced-order model is then obtained through the restriction of the original biosystem dynamics on the slow manifold. The analyticity property of the solution to the invariance PDEs enables the development of a series solution method that can be easily implemented using MAPLE leading to polynomial approximations up to the desired degree of accuracy. …”
