Flow control by periodic devices: a unifying language for the description of traffic, production, and metabolic systems

Metabolic systems need to show high performance under typical environmental conditions and, at the same time, maintain certain functions under a broad range of perturbations and varying conditions. It is precisely this robustness with respect to large environmental changes that makes metabolic networks a potentially very interesting role model for technical production and distribution systems. Here we develop a formalism to compare these systems and show that optimization strategies from one domain can also be successfully applied to the other domains.
