Automatically Finding the Average Output of a Steadily Beating Ventricle

摘要

The repetitive behavior of a device or system can be described in two ways: a detailed description of one iteration of the behavior, or a summary description of the behavior over many repetitions. In this paper, an implemented program called AIS is applied to a model of a steadily beating ventricle (part of the heart). AIS transforms the first type of description into the second type. The output consists of the symbolic average rates of change in parameter values and how those rates would be different if various constants and functions had been different. AIS's results are compared to results in the literature.
