The time-scale hierarchies of a very general class of models in differential equations is analyzed. Classical methods for model reduction and time-scale analysis have been adapted to this formalism and a complementary method is proposed. A unified theoretical treatment shows how the structure of the system can be much better understood by inspection of two sets of singular values: one related to the stoichiometric structure of the system and another to its kinetics. The methods are exemplified first through a toy model, then a large synthetic network and finally with numeric simulations of three classical benchmark models of real biological systems.
分析了一类非常一般的微分方程模型的时间尺度层次结构。已将模型简化和时间尺度分析的经典方法应用于这种形式体系,并提出了一种补充方法。统一的理论处理表明,通过检查两组奇异值可以更好地理解系统的结构:一组与系统的化学计量结构有关,另一组与系统的动力学有关。这些方法首先通过一个简单模型进行举例说明,然后是一个大型合成网络,最后是对三个真实生物系统的经典基准模型进行数值模拟。
