Abstract

A non-autonomous ordinary differential equations model was developed from the theoretical model of a nonlinear network previously developed by us. The proposed network-modified model qualitatively shows that mole-rates, when subjected to hostile conditions such as variations of the oxygen of the environment, maintain high robustness to environmental changes, which ensures its adaptability to the surroundings.
