In fact the problem is not to identify the general behavior law of exchange between compartments, but to assume these laws known such as in Michaelis\u2010Menten systems or in polynomial compartmental systems with coefficients that need to be identified. It has been proved previously that with a linearization method an approximation can be obtained to the identification of these nonlinear systems. To validate this method, a stability study is necessary.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sufficient conditions are established for the evolution law of a nonlinear bicompartmental system under which the linearization method is stable, and an upper bound is given on the approximation error \u2013 with an application, in the last section to the case of an open Michaelis\u2010Menten system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper is of value in establishing sufficient conditions about the evolution law of a nonlinear system in order to show that this method is stable and to give an upper bound on the approximation error.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/03684920910962641","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,4]],"date-time":"2009-07-04T07:03:33Z","timestamp":1246691013000},"page":"744-761","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Stability of the linearization method in compartmental analysis"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Belkhaled","family":"Hebri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Salim","family":"Khelifa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yves","family":"Cherruault","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2021010620112619800_b1","unstructured":"Cartan, H.
