Steady State Sensitivity
Slope of secant describes rate of change (i.e. sensitivity) of s1 with respect to p1
As p1 tends to zero, the secant tends to the tangent, whose slope is the derivative of s1 with respect to p1, measuring an “instantaneous” rate of change.

Scaled Sensitivities
measure relative (rather than absolute) changes:-- makes sensitivities dimensionless-- permits direct comparisons
Equivalent to sensitivity in logarithmic space:
This is the approach taken in Savageau's Biochemical Systems Theory (BST)

Input-Output Systems
The input u may include
• a reference signal to be tracked (e.g. input to a signal transduction network)
• a control input to be chosen by the system designer (e.g. given by a feedback law)
• a disturbance acting on the system (e.g. fluctuations in enzyme level)
![Page 13: Section 1: A Control Theoretic Approach to Metabolic Control Analysis](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649f185503460f94c2f18e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The output y is commonly a subset of the components of the state
The output may represent
• the ‘part’ of the state which is of interest
• a measurement of the state

Additivitysum of outputs = output of sum

Reductionist approach can be used with a complete family of functions:
arbitrary function = weighted sum
monomials: 1, t, t2, …
etc.
sinusoids: sin(t), sin(2t), …
etc.

Frequency Response
The asymptotic response of a linear system to a sinusoidal input is a sinusoidal output of the same frequency.
This input-output behaviour can be described by two numbers for each frequency: • the amplitude (A)
• the phase ()

Frequency Response The input-output behaviour of the system can be
characterized by an assignment of two numbers to each frequency:
system
input output
These two numbers are conveniently recorded as the modulus and argument of a single complex number:

Conclusion
• recovers standard sensitivity analysis at =0
• provides a complete description of the response to periodic inputs (e.g. mitotic, circadian or Ca2+ oscillations, periodic action potentials)
• provides a qualitative description of the response to 'slowly' or 'quickly' varying signals (e.g. subsystems with different timescales)
