Abstract
The purpose of a model is to verify whether some hypotheses made on a real system are valid (Rescigno and Beck, 1987), and subordinately to determine the values of some of the parameters that represent specific properties of the system under study (Zierler, 1981). For instance the model commonly used when dilution phenomena are expected, is a set of ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, while when diffusion phenomena are the case, partial differential equations are to be used, finite difference equations for delay phenomena, etc.
