It is shown that certain classes of differential equations arising from the modelling of chemical reaction networks have the following property: the state space is foliated by invariant subspaces each of which contains a unique equilibrium…
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…
Chemical reactions often proceed through the formation and the consumption of intermediate species. An example is the creation and subsequent degradation of the substrate-enzyme complexes in an enzymatic reaction. In this paper we provide a…
In a recent paper it was shown that, for chemical reaction networks possessing a subtle structural property called concordance, dynamical behavior of a very circumscribed (and largely stable) kind is enforced, so long as the kinetics lies…

Motivated by recent progress on the interplay between graph theory, dynamics, and systems theory, we revisit the analysis of chemical reaction networks described by mass action kinetics. For reaction networks possessing a thermodynamic…
In this paper we present a general procedure that allows for the reduction or expansion of any network (considered as a weighted graph). This procedure maintains the spectrum of the network's adjacency matrix up to a set of eigenvalues…
Time-continuous dynamical systems defined on graphs are often used to model complex systems with many interacting components in a non-spatial context. In the reverse sense attaching meaningful dynamics to given 'interaction diagrams' is a…

All current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks rely on the assumption of non-interacting species. We develop a general theory which accounts for interactions between chemical species within a…
Chemical reaction networks in living cells maintain precise control over thousands of metabolites despite operating far from equilibrium under constant perturbations. While mass action kinetics accurately describe the underlying dynamics,…
Equilibrium is a rather ideal situation, the exception rather than the rule in Nature. Whenever the external or internal parameters of a physical system are varied its subsequent relaxation to equilibrium may be either impossible or take…
The behavior of dynamical system interacting with non-equilibrium medium is investigated. Formally exact kinetic equations are derived for the statistical operator of the dynamical system and the macroscopic parameters of the medium. In the…
The process of genetic recombination can be seen as a chemical reaction network with mass-action kinetics. We review the known results on existence, uniqueness, and global stability of an equilibrium in every compatibility class and for all…
A class of chemical reaction networks is described with the property that each positive equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable relative to its stoichiometry class, an invariant subspace on which it lies. The reaction systems treated…
A crisp survey is given of chemical reaction networks from the perspective of general nonlinear network dynamics, in particular of consensus dynamics. It is shown how by starting from the complex-balanced assumption the reaction dynamics…

The quantitative convergence to equilibrium for reaction-diffusion systems arising from complex balanced chemical reaction networks with mass action kinetics is studied by using the so-called entropy method. In the first part of the paper,…
