Alsharidi, Abdulaziz K.; Khan, Ashfaq A.; Shepherd, John J.; Stacey, Andrew J. Multiscaling analysis of a slowly varying anaerobic digestion model. (English) Zbl 1455.34049 Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 43, No. 9, 5729-5743 (2020). Summary: We construct the slowly varying limiting state solutions to a nonlinear dynamical system for anaerobic digestion with Monod-based kinetics involving slowly varying model parameters arising from slow environmental variation. The advantage of these approximate solutions over numerical solutions is their applicability to a wide range of parameter values. We use these limiting state solutions to develop analytic approximations to the full nonlinear system by applying a multiscaling technique. The approximate solutions are shown to compare favorably with numerical solutions.
