Toy model for this example

 * We are considering a very simple reaction network.
 * It takes a compound 'A' to be converted into a compound 'B'.
 * Following mass action laws, the kinetic law associated to the reaction is a first order reaction, with parameter k1.
 * Model described   : $$A \xrightarrow{k_{1}} B $$
 * Kinetic Law for 'A': $$ \frac{d[A]}{dt} = -k_{1}[A] ;  [A]_{t=0} = A_{0} > 0 $$
 * Kinetic Law for 'B': $$ \frac{d[B]}{dt} = k_{1}[A] ;  [B]_{t=0} = 0 $$
