We investigate a class of stochastic chemical reaction networks with $n{\ge}1$ chemical species $S_1$, \ldots, $S_n$, and whose complexes are only of the form $k_iS_i$, $i{=}1$,\ldots, $n$, where $(k_i)$ are integers. The time evolution of…

Understanding the emergent behavior of chemical reaction networks (CRNs) is a fundamental aspect of biology and its origin from inanimate matter. A closed CRN monotonically tends to thermal equilibrium, but when it is opened to external…

This paper is motivated by examples from stochastic reaction network theory. The $Q$-matrix of a stochastic reaction network can be derived from the reaction graph, an edge-labelled directed graph encoding the jump vectors of an associated…
Certain chemical reaction networks (CRNs) when modeled as a deterministic dynamical system taken with mass-action kinetics have the property of reaction network detailed balance (RNDB) which is achieved by imposing network-related…
Equilibrium bifurcations arise from sign changes of Jacobian determinants, as parameters are varied. Therefore we address the Jacobian determinant for metabolic networks with general reaction kinetics. Our approach is based on the concept…
The asymptotic properties of some Markov processes associated to stochastic chemical reaction networks (CRNs) driven by the kinetics of the law of mass action are analyzed. The scaling regime introduced in the paper assumes that the norm of…
Generalized mass-action systems are power-law dynamical systems arising from chemical reaction networks. Essentially, every nonnegative ODE model used in chemistry and biology (for example, in ecology and epidemiology) and even in economics…
The study of Chemical Reaction Networks (CRN's) is a very active field. Earlier well-known results \cite{Feinberg:def_01:87, Anderson:product_dist:10} identify a topological quantity called deficiency, for any CRN, which, when exactly equal…
Motivation: A Chemical Reaction Network (CRN) is a set of chemical reactions, which can be very complex and difficult to analyze. Indeed, dynamical properties of CRNs can be described by a set of non-linear differential equations that…
We study the model of continuous chemical reaction networks (CRNs), consisting of reactions such as $A+B \to C+D$ that can transform some continuous, nonnegative real-valued quantity (called a *concentration*) of chemical species $A$ and…
We propose a Kron-based model-order reduction method for mass-action kinetics chemical reaction networks (CRN) with constant inflow and proportional outflow. The reduced-order models preserve the CRN structure and we establish that the…
