In many applications, for example when computing statistics of fast subsystems in a multiscale setting, we wish to find the stationary distributions of systems of continuous time Markov chains. Here we present a class of models that appears…
Stochastic reaction networks are dynamical models of biochemical reaction systems and form a particular class of continuous-time Markov chains on $\mathbb{N}^n$. Here we provide a fundamental characterisation that connects structural…
Reaction networks have become a major modelling framework in the biological sciences from epidemiology and population biology to genetics and cellular biology. In recent years, much progress has been made on stochastic reaction networks…
Anderson, Craciun, and Kurtz have proved that a stochastically modelled chemical reaction system with mass-action kinetics admits a stationary distribution when the deterministic model of the same system with mass-action kinetics admits an…
It has recently been shown that structural conditions on the reaction network, rather than a 'fine-tuning' of system parameters, often suffice to impart 'absolute concentration robustness' on a wide class of biologically relevant,…
Reaction networks are widely used models to describe biochemical processes. Stochastic fluctuations in the counts of biological macromolecules have amplified consequences due to their small population sizes. This makes it necessary to favor…
It is well known that stochastically modeled reaction networks that are complex balanced admit a stationary distribution that is a product of Poisson distributions. In this paper, we consider the following related question: supposing that…
The graph-related symmetries of a reaction network give rise to certain special equilibria (such as complex balanced equilibria) in deterministic models of dynamics of the reaction network. Correspondingly, in the stochastic setting, when…
We study stationary distributions in the context of stochastic reaction networks. In particular, we are interested in complex balanced reaction networks and reduction of such networks by assuming a set of species (called non-interacting…
In this paper I show that, for a class of reaction networks, the discrete stochastic nature of the reacting species and reactions results in qualitative and quantitative differences between the mean of exact stochastic simulations and the…
In an equilibrium chemical reaction mixture, the number of molecules present obeys a Poisson distribution. We ask when the same is true of the steady state of a nonequilibrium reaction network and obtain an essentially complete answer. In…
We investigate a broad family of non weakly reversible stochastically modeled reaction networks (CRN), by looking at their steady-state distributions. Most known results on stationary distributions assume weak reversibility and zero…
In 2010, Anderson, Craciun, and Kurtz showed that if a deterministically modeled reaction network is complex balanced, then the associated stochastic model admits a stationary distribution that is a product of Poissons \cite{ACK2010}. That…
Stochastic chemical processes are described by the chemical master equation satisfying the law of mass-action. We first ask whether the dual master equation, which has the same steady state as the chemical master equation, but with inverted…
Exact results for product-form stationary distributions of Markov chains are of interest in different fields. In stochastic reaction networks (CRNs), stationary distributions are mostly known in special cases where they are of product-form.…
We present conditions which guarantee a parametrization of the set of positive equilibria of a generalized mass-action system. Our main results state that (i) if the underlying generalized chemical reaction network has an effective…
Reaction networks are mathematical models of interacting chemical species that are primarily used in biochemistry. There are two modeling regimes that are typically used, one of which is deterministic and one that is stochastic. In…
Mass-action chemical reaction systems are frequently used in Computational Biology. The corresponding polynomial dynamical systems are often large (consisting of tens or even hundreds of ordinary differential equations) and poorly…
We show that discrete distributions on the $d$-dimensional non-negative integer lattice can be approximated arbitrarily well via the marginals of stationary distributions for various classes of stochastic chemical reaction networks. We…
In Systems Biology there is a growing interest in the question, whether or not a given mathematical model can admit more than one steady state. As parameter values are often unknown or subject to a very high uncertainty, one is often…
