✦ Synopsis


Since applications of expert systems were typical in domains with no well defined models, qualitative methods for modelling and reasoning were soon developed. Most current qualitative reasoning programs derive the qualitative behaviour of a system by simulating a. hand-crafted qualitative version of the differential equation that caracterizes the model of system.

This paper describes a method to construct a family of piecewise linear dynamical systems from the qualitative information contained in a model. We apply the dynamical system theory to deduce results about the behaviour of the family of dynamical .systems constructed as a consequence of the qualitative model.

This paper presents a method which combines the modelling and simulation of a nonlinear network together. The main idea is to divide the rectangle of interest into simplices by imposing a fixed ordering. It turns out that the creation of a piecewise-linear model and the computation of an approximate
