Event structures are a well-accepted model of concurrency. In a seminal paper by Nielsen, Plotkin and Winskel, they are used to establish a bridge between the theory of domains and the approach to concurrency proposed by Petri. A basic role…
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…
We develop a model where firms determine the price at which they sell their differentiable goods, the volume that they produce, and the inputs (types and amounts) that they purchase from other firms. A steady-state production network…
We study chemical reaction networks with discrete state spaces, such as the standard continuous time Markov chain model, and present sufficient conditions on the structure of the network that guarantee the system exhibits an extinction…
In this report, we detail the model using Petri Nets of a new fully distributed resource reservation system. The basic idea of the considered distributed system is to let a user reserve a set of resources on a local network and to use them,…
Motivated by recent physics papers describing rules for natural network formation, we study an elliptic-parabolic system of partial differential equations proposed by Hu and Cai. The model describes the pressure field thanks to Darcy's type…
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…
Persistence is a strong, global, behavioural property of a Petri net, meaning that no activity can disable a different activity. Persistent permutability is a weaker property, pertaining to individual interleavings of a Petri net and…
The ability to detect whether a species (or dimension) is zero in Chemical Reaction Networks (CRN), Vector Addition Systems, or Petri Nets is known to increase the power of these models -- making them capable of universal computation. While…
We propose a method to count the number of reachable markings of a Petri net without having to enumerate these rst. The method relies on a structural reduction system that reduces the number of places and transitions of the net in such a…
Critical observability is a property of cyber-physical systems to detect whether the current state belongs to a set of critical states. In safety-critical applications, critical states model operations that may be unsafe or of a particular…
For every finite Petri net, we construct a commutative polynomial in two variables and with coefficients from the semiring of natural numbers. We also present an inverse construction and show that multiplication of polynomials…
New subclasses of Petri nets - Petri nets receptors and Petri nets effectors are introduced. The introduction/exclusion of such substructures in the main Petri net may be fulfilled in accordance with the Fusion/Defusion principles. We…
Recent work by the authors equips Petri occurrence nets (PN) with probability distributions which fully replace nondeterminism. To avoid the so-called confusion problem, the construction imposes additional causal dependencies which restrict…
Detectability describes the property of an system whose current and the subsequent states can be uniquely determined after a finite number of observations. In this paper, we relax detectability to C-detectability that only requires a given…
We use categorical methods to define a new flavor of Petri nets where transitions can only fire a limited number of times, specified by a quantity that we call mana. We do so with chemistry in mind, looking at ways of modelling the behavior…
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.…
Reaction networks are a general formalism for describing collections of classical entities interacting in a random way. While reaction networks are mainly studied by chemists, they are equivalent to Petri nets, which are used for similar…
The well-known Deficiency One Theorem gives structural conditions on a chemical reaction network under which, for any set of parameter values, the steady states of the corresponding mass action system may be easily characterized. It is also…
We provide a Jacobian criterion that applies to arbitrary chemical reaction networks taken with mass-action kinetics to preclude the existence of multiple positive steady states within any stoichiometric class for any choice of rate…
