This paper reports the development and application of 3 powerful algorithms for the analysis and simulation of mathematical models consisting of ordinary differential equations. An extended parameter sensitivity analysis was described and the relative sensitivities of many dynamic behaviors of the model to perturbations of each parameter were measured. Sensitivities to parameter variation were checked over both small and large ranges. These 2 extensions of a common technique have applications in parameter estimation and in experimental design. Sensitivity functions were then computed, using an efficient algorithm requiring just 1 model simulation to obtain all sensitivities of state variables to all parameters as functions of time. The analysis was extended to a behavior which is not a state variable. An unconstrained global optimization algorithm was applied in a novel way to determine the input to the model, given an optimality criterion and typical outputs. The algorithm itself is an efficient one for high-order problems, and does not get stuck at local extrema. The sensitivity analysis, sensitivity functions and optimization algorithm were applied to a 6th-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation model for human eye movements. This application shows that the algorithms are not only practicable for high-order models, but also useful as conceptual tools.
