Transcient behavior of biological loop models with application to the droop model
Résumé
In this paper we study the transient behavior of a class of non-linear differential systems verifying sign conditions, through the succession of extrema of the state variables. This analysis does not depend, for the main part, on the analytical formulation of the model. The possible scenarii of sequences for the extrema are represented on a graph, and can be compared with the experimental data to validate the model. An application to the Droop model illustrates this method ; we obtain as a result the global stability of the equilibrium and the possible successions of the extrema for this class of models.
