Dynamics of different compound bursting in two phantom bursting mechanism models

The generic phantom bursting model proposed by Bertram et al. can evoke complex bursting oscillations in collaboration with two generic slow variables with different time scales. Two models with the phantom bursting mechanism are suggested, when these two generic slow variables are provided with some specific biological significances by combining slowly varying intracellular Ca2+ concentration of the Chay-Keizer electrical bursting model with two different glycolytic oscillations, respectively. Also, complex dynamic behaviors of different compound bursting occurring in these two models are comprehensively surveyed by two fast/slow analyses for a moderately and a slower slow variable, respectively.
