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

“…The problem of interest is addressed within the context of singular partial differential equations (PDE) theory, and in particular, through a system of singular quasi-linear invariance PDEs for which a general set of conditions for solvability is provided. Within the class of analytic solutions, this set of conditions guarantees the existence and uniqueness of a locally analyticsolution which represents the system's slow invariant manifold exponentially attracting all dynamic trajectories in the absence of model uncertainty. …”
