  • Project Abstract: Our project is inspired by the mathematical model used in the software package DSGRN. We try to find the equilibria in the systems of ODEs containing Hill models using Newton's method and validate them by radii polynomials. Finally, we introduced interval arithmetics to prove the nonexistence of other equilibria besides the ones we have found.
