Higher dimensional slow manifolds in chemical reaction networks
In the context of geometric methods for enzyme kinetics, the steady state (SSA) and rapid equilibrium (EA) approximations correspond to surfaces in the phase space. A description of a so called trapping region $\Gamma$ is given in terms of such surfaces. Conditions for uniqueness and existence of an invariant manifold fully contained in $\Gamma$ are discussed. We will fully discuss the case when we have a two-dimensional system. At the end we present a possible path to follow to generalize these ideas to systems in higher dimensions.

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.
