Weakly reversible mass-action systems with infinitely many positive steady states

Molecular Networks 2022-09-14 v2

Abstract

We show that weakly reversible mass-action systems can have a continuum of positive steady states, coming from the zeroes of a multivariate polynomial. Moreover, the same is true of systems whose underlying reaction network is reversible and has a single connected component. In our construction, we relate operations on the reaction network to the multivariate polynomial occurring as a common factor in the system of differential equations.
