Extending the quasi-steady state approximation by changing variables

Bull Math Biol. 1996 Jan;58(1):43-63. doi: 10.1007/BF02458281.

Abstract

The parameter domain for which the quasi-steady state assumption is valid can be considerably extended merely by a simple change of variable. This is demonstrated for a variety of biologically significant examples taken from enzyme kinetics, immunology and ecology.
