heal.abstract	Simple models for upper pharyngeal obstruction, describing the sleep apnea syndrome are proposed. Stability is discussed, of two and three individualized elements, with and without elastic connections, interacting with the steady flow. Considering the flow as the controlling parameter, critical steady state flows are located and their post-critical behavior is discussed for various models. It is pointed out that non-linear	en
