Quasi-equilibrium reduction in a general class of stoichiometric producer–consumer models

Abstract: This article compares a general closed nutrient, stoichiometric producer-consumer model to a two-dimensional 'quasi-equilibrium' approximation. We demonstrate that the quasi-equilibrium system can be rigorously analysed, resulting in nullcline-based criteria for the local stability of system equilibria and for the non-existence of periodic orbits. These results are applied to a study of the dependence of the reduced system on nutrient and energy enrichment. When energy and nutrient enrichment are considered to… Show more

“…However, there seems to be a general consistency between the two systems. A rigorous comparison of system (2.1, 2.2, 2.4) and this two--dimensional approximation is given in [44]. In summary, based on these calculations it appears that the bifurcation curves shown in Figure 4.1 partition the (b, N T ) plane into distinct regions of system dynamics.…”

“…As is the case for those models, under high energy levels the system supports a globally attracting equilibrium state. The results presented here provide useful motivation for a rigorous analysis of the quasi--equilibrium approximation (2.1, 2.2, 4.1) and an examination of its similarities and differences to the general model of this paper [44].…”
