Abstract

We extend the quasi-steady state approximation (QSSA) as well with respect to the class of differential systems as with respect to the order of approximation. As an application we prove that the trimolecular autocatalator can be approximated by a fast bimolecular reaction system. Finally we describe a class of singularly perturbed systems for which the first order QSSA can easily be obtained.
