description

In practical applications the “complete” model, i.e., a model that contains all features that the experts in the application domain consider important, is often quite complicated and difficult to analyse mathematically. A straightforward numerical realization is often costly and may give very little qualitative understanding of the situation. It is therefore important to study if the model can be systematically simplified in order to enhance a qualitative analysis/understanding.
