Such systems are often modelled in terms of coupled ordinary differential equations that involve parameters whose (often unknown) values correspond to certain fundamental properties of the system. For example, in metabolic modelling, concentrations of metabolites can be described by such equations, where parameters correspond to the kinetic rates of the underlying chemical reactions. Within this framework, the increasing availability of time series data opens up the attractive possibility of reconstructing approximate parameter values, thus enabling the in silico exploration of the behaviour of complex dynamical systems. The parameter reconstruction problem, however, is very challenging – a fact that has resulted in a plethora of heuristics methods designed to fit parameters to the given data. In this paper we propose a completely deterministic method for parameter reconstruction that is based on interval analysis. We illustrate its utility by applying it to reconstruct metabolic networks using S-systems. Our method not only estimates the parameters very precisely, it also determines the appropriate network topologies. A major strength of the proposed method is that it proves that large portions of parameter space can be disregarded, thereby avoiding spurious solutions.}, doi = {10.1007/11557067_16} }

Such networks are commonly modeled by systems of ordinary differential equations, a special class of which are known as S-systems. These systems are specifically designed to mimic kinetic reactions, and are sufficiently general to model genetic networks, metabolic networks, and signal transduction cascades. The parameters of an S-system correspond to various kinetic rates of the underlying reactions, and one of the main challenges is to determine approximate values of these parameters, given measured (or simulated) time traces of the involved reactants. Due to the high dimensionality of the problem, a straight-forward optimization strategy will rarely produce correct parameter values.

Moreover, although several methods have been recently proposed to solve this problem for ideal profiles, relatively little progress has been reported for noisy profiles. We describe a special feature of a Newton-flow optimisation problem associated with S-system parameter estimation. This enables us to significantly reduce the search space, and also lends itself to parameter estimation for noisy data. We illustrate the applicability of our method by applying it to noisy time-course data synthetically produced from previously published 4- and 30-dimensional S-systems. In addition, we propose an extension of our method that allows the detection of network topologies for small S-systems.

A renormalization approach has been used in (Eckmann et al 1982) and (Eckmann et al 1984) in a computer-assisted proof of existence of a “universal” area-preserving map $F*$ — a map with orbits of all binary periods $2^k$, $k ∈ N$. In this paper, we consider infinitely renormalizable maps — maps on the renormalization stable manifold in some neighborhood of $F∗$ — and study their dynamics. For all such infinitely renormalizable maps in a neighborhood of the fixed point $F∗$ we prove the existence of a “stable” invariant set $C^{∞}_F$ such that the maximal Lyapunov exponent of $F|C^{∞}_F$ is zero, and whose Hausdorff dimension satisfies $dimH(C^{∞}_F) \le 0.836$. We also show that there exists a submanifold, $W_\omega$, of finite codimension in the renormalization local stable manifold, such that for all $F ∈ W_\omega$ the set $C^{∞}_F$ is “weakly rigid”: the dynamics of any two maps in this submanifold, restricted to the stable set $C^{∞}_F$ , is conjugated by a bi-Lipschitz transformation that preserves the Hausdorff dimension.}, author = {Denis Gaidashev and Tomas Johnson}, title = {Dynamics of the Universal Area-Preserving Map Associated with Period Doubling: Stable Sets}, year = {2009}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, pages = {555--587}, journal = {JMD}, fjournal = {Journal of Modern Dynamics}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3934/jmd.2009.3.555}}
