We consider the question whether a chemical reaction network preserves the number and stability of its positive steady states upon inclusion of inflow and outflow reactions. Often a model of a reaction network is presented without inflows…
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,…
We present a computational procedure to characterize the signs of sensitivities of steady states to parameter perturbations in chemical reaction networks.
We study the multistationarity for the reaction networks with one-dimensional stoichiometric subspaces, and we focus on the networks admitting finitely many positive steady states. We prove that if a network admits multistationarity, then…
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…
We investigate six operations on chemical reaction networks, all of which have been proven to preserve important dynamical properties, namely, the capacity for nondegenerate multistationarity (multiple steady states) and periodic orbits.…
Chemical reaction network theory provides powerful tools for rigorously understanding chemical reactions and the dynamical systems and differential equations that represent them. A frequent issue with mathematical analyses of these networks…
We consider a natural class of reaction networks which consist of reactions where either two species can inactivate each other (i.e., sequestration), or some species can be transformed into another (i.e., transmutation), in a way that gives…
Chemical reaction networks describe interactions between biochemical species. Once an underlying reaction network is given for a biochemical system, the system dynamics can be modelled with various mathematical frameworks such as continuous…
This paper analyses of a stochastic model of a chemical reaction network with three types of chemical species ${\cal R}$, ${\cal M}$ and ${\cal U}$ that interact to transform a flow of external resources, the chemical species ${\cal Q}$, to…
Deciding whether and where a system of parametrized ordinary differential equations displays bistability, that is, has at least two asymptotically stable steady states for some choice of parameters, is a hard problem. For systems modeling…
For dynamical systems arising from chemical reaction networks, persistence is the property that each species concentration remains positively bounded away from zero, as long as species concentrations were all positive in the beginning. We…
A multistationarity region is the part of a reaction network's parameter space that gives rise to multiple steady states. Mathematically, this region consists of the positive parameters for which a parametrized family of polynomial…
We consider stochastic descriptions of chemical reaction networks in which there are both fast and slow reactions, and for which the time scales are widely separated. We develop a computational algorithm that produces the generator of the…
The behavior of some stochastic chemical reaction networks is largely unaffected by slight inaccuracies in reaction rates. We formalize the robustness of state probabilities to reaction rate deviations, and describe a formal connection…
We describe a large class of chemical reaction networks, those endowed with a subtle structural property called concordance. We show that the class of concordant networks coincides precisely with the class of networks which, when taken with…
We present a new conjecture about a necessary condition that a (bio)chemical network has to satisfy for it to exhibit multistationarity. According to a Theorem of Feliu and Wiuf [27, 12], the conjecture is known for strictly monotonic…
In the first part of this paper, we propose new optimization-based methods for the computation of preferred (dense, sparse, reversible, detailed and complex balanced) linearly conjugate reaction network structures with mass action dynamics.…
Based on the theory of stochastic chemical kinetics, the inherent randomness and stochasticity of biochemical reaction networks can be accurately described by discrete-state continuous-time Markov chains. The analysis of such processes is,…
We consider steady states of dynamics that have an underlying network structure. We study how a steady state responds to small perturbations in the network parameters and how this sensitivity is connected to the network structure. We…
