Chemical reaction networks (CRNs) model systems where molecules interact according to a finite set of reactions such as $A + B \to C$, representing that if a molecule of $A$ and $B$ collide, they disappear and a molecule of $C$ is produced.…

Autocatalytic cores are minimal units in reaction networks (RNs) responsible for the emergence of autocatalysis. In the absence of explicit catalysis, i.e., when an entity appears both as reactant and product in the same reaction, they are…

The stable functionality of networked systems is a hallmark of their natural ability to coordinate between their multiple interacting components. Yet, strikingly, real-world networks seem random and highly irregular, apparently lacking any…
