Dynamical reduction of metabolic networks by singular perturbation theory : application to microalgae
Claudia López Zazueta
- 14 Dec 2018
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an approach to reduce dynamic metabolic networks while keeping the core dynamics, which is based on time-scale separation, using the theorem of Tikhonov for singularly perturbed systems.
