Singularity analysis on the metabolic network equations
The problem associatd with the deletion of the singular equations on the stoichiometric matrix of bioreaction network equations (BRNEs) was discussed. Singular node in the network was defined as a node with its nodal equations being singular. Two modification approaches were proposed to prevent the singular equations deletion problem. By assigning a "split ratio value" on the singular node, the singular equation in the network can be preserved. This approach is named as the split-ratio substitution algorithm (SSA).
