Reduction of High-Dimension Models of Circadian Clocks to a Two-Dimension Manifold Representation
In this talk, I will present a model reduction technique applicable to oscillatory dynamical systems. The method is based on the projection of high-dimensional models onto their respective manifold using proper orthogonal functions (POF) obtained from the decomposition of the phase space of the model to obtain a 2-dimension model. The reduced model predicts most of the salient features of the original model. I will focus on the specific case of biological clocks characterized by oscillations of ~24 h. The manifold representation simplifies the mathematical analysis, since only 2 variables need to be observed and analyzed to understand the behavior of the biological clock.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
