Flux Variability

Fluxes are constrained to lie on a particular interval, such as [0, ∞). This does not mean, however, that a flux can necessarily assume all values along that interval. The processes in this section are used to determine the minimum and maximum values fluxes can actually achieve, that is, their true intervals.
