For a reaction network with species set $\mathscr{S}$, a log-parametrized (LP) set is a non-empty set of the form $E(P, x^*) = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^\mathscr{S}_> \mid \log x - \log x^* \in P^\perp\}$ where $P$ (called the LP set's flux…
Persistence and permanence are properties of dynamical systems that describe the long-term behavior of the solutions, and in particular specify whether positive solutions approach the boundary of the positive orthant. Mass-action systems…

This paper presents a computational solution to determine if a chemical reaction network endowed with power-law kinetics (PLK system) has the capacity for multistationarity, i.e., whether there exist positive rate constants such that the…
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…
One important question that interests those who work in chemical reaction network theory (CRNT) is this: Does the system obtained from a reaction network admit a positive equilibrium and if it does, can there be more than one within a…
Under suitable assumptions, the dynamic behaviour of a chemical reaction network is governed by an autonomous set of polynomial ordinary differential equations over continuous variables representing the concentrations of the reactant…

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…

A policy is said to be robust if it maximizes the reward while considering a bad, or even adversarial, model. In this work we formalize two new criteria of robustness to action uncertainty. Specifically, we consider two scenarios in which…
The concept of limiting step gives the limit simplification: the whole network behaves as a single step. However, in its simplest form this idea is applicable only to the simplest linear cycles in steady states. For such the simplest cycles…
