Abstract
We propose a rather general methodology for building mathematical models in biology. From the structure of the model, we deduce results on the behaviour of the solutions of the system: existence and stability of stationary points, of periodic solutions,…. These results depend only on the structural relations in the model, and not on the precise expression of the functions that describe these relations.
