Robustness is an observable property for which a chemical reaction network (CRN) can maintain its functionalities despite the influence of different perturbations. In general, to verify whether a network is robust, it is necessary to…

Chemical reaction networks (CRN) comprise an important class of models to understand biological functions such as cellular information processing, the robustness and control of metabolic pathways, circadian rhythms, and many more. However,…
This paper develops the concept of decomposition for chemical reaction networks, based on which a network decomposition technique is proposed to capture the stability of large-scale networks characterized by a high number of species, high…
A decomposition of a chemical reaction network (CRN) is produced by partitioning its set of reactions. The partition induces networks, called subnetworks, that are "smaller" than the given CRN which, at this point, can be called parent…
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…
A chemical reaction network (CRN) is composed of reactions that can be seen as interactions among entities called species, which exist within the system. Endowed with kinetics, CRN has a corresponding set of ordinary differential equations…
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…
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,…
Bifunctional enzymes, which catalyze both the forward and reverse steps of a substrate modification reaction, arise naturally in bacterial two-component signaling systems and metabolic regulation. Beyond their well-known role in conferring…
A reaction network together with a choice of rate constants uniquely gives rise to a system of differential equations, according to the law of mass-action kinetics. On the other hand, different networks can generate the same dynamical…

This work introduces a novel approach to study properties of positive equilibria of a chemical reaction network $\mathscr{N}$ endowed with Hill-type kinetics $K$, called a Hill-type kinetic (HTK) system $\left(\mathscr{N},K\right)$,…
Understanding the emergent behavior of chemical reaction networks (CRNs) is a fundamental aspect of biology and its origin from inanimate matter. A closed CRN monotonically tends to thermal equilibrium, but when it is opened to external…

Maintaining stability in an uncertain environment is essential for proper functioning of living systems. Robust perfect adaptation (RPA) is a property of a system that generates an output at a fixed level even after fluctuations in input…
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…

Inspired by Anderson et al. [J. R. Soc. Interface, 2014] we study the long-term behavior of discrete chemical reaction networks (CRNs). In particular, using techniques from both Petri net theory and CRN theory, we provide a powerful…
