A perturbation framework is developed to analyze metastable behavior in stochastic processes with random internal and external states. The process is assumed to be under weak noise conditions, and the case where the deterministic limit is…
The probability that a configuration of a physical system reacts, or transitions from one metastable state to another, is quantified by the committor function. This function contains richly detailed mechanistic information about transition…

The Hill function is relevant for describing enzyme binding and other processes in gene regulatory networks. Despite its theoretical foundation, it is often empirically used as a useful fitting function. Theoretical predictions suggest that…
Biochemical systems are inherently stochastic, particularly those with small-molecule populations. The spatial distribution of molecules plays a critical role and requires the inclusion of spatial coordinates in their analysis. Stochastic…
We are interested in the connection between a metastable continuous state space Markov process (satisfying e.g. the Langevin or overdamped Langevin equation) and a jump Markov process in a discrete state space. More precisely, we use the…

Describing reaction rates in stochastic bio-circuits is commonly done by directly introducing the deterministically deduced Hill function into the master equation. However, when fluctuations in enzymatic reaction rates are not neglectable,…

Non-Maxwellian distributions are commonly observed across a wide range of systems and scales. While direct observations provide the strongest evidence for these distributions, they also manifest indirectly through their influence on…
There is a vast amount of literature concerning the appropriateness of various perturbation parameters for the standard quasi-steady state approximation in the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism, and also concerning the relevance of these…

The paper studies an improved estimate for the rate of convergence for nonlinear homogeneous discrete-time Markov chains. These processes are nonlinear in terms of the distribution law. Hence, the transition kernels are dependent on the…
Reaction-diffusion equations deliver a versatile tool for the description of reactions in inhomogeneous systems under the assumption that the characteristic reaction scales and the scales of the inhomogeneities in the reactant…
