Semi-Quantitative Comparative Analysis And Its Application

Abstract

SQCA is an implemented technique for the semi-quantitative comparative analysis of dynamical systems. It is both able to deal with incompletely specified models and make precise predictions by exploiting semi-quantitative information in the form of numerical bounds on the variables and functions occuring in the models. The technique has a solid mathematical foundation which facilitates proofs of correctness and convergence properties. SQCA represents the core of a method for the automated prediction of experimental results
