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…

Efforts to catalogue the structure of metabolic networks have generated highly detailed, genome-scale atlases of biochemical reactions in the cell. Unfortunately, these atlases fall short of capturing the kinetic details of metabolic…
We apply tools from real algebraic geometry to the problem of multistationarity of chemical reaction networks. A particular focus is on the case of reaction networks whose steady states admit a monomial parametrization. For such systems we…
Kinetic theory and thermodynamics of reaction networks are extended to the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of continuous-flow stirred tank reactors (CSTR) and serial transfers. On the basis of their stoichiometry matrix, the conservation laws…
We investigate dynamical systems characterized by a time series of distinct semi-stable activity patterns, as they are observed in cortical neural activity patterns. We propose and discuss a general mechanism allowing for an adiabatic…

We study a mathematical model of biological neuronal networks composed by any finite number $N \geq 2$ of non necessarily identical cells. The model is a deterministic dynamical system governed by finite-dimensional impulsive differential…

A biological regulatory network can be modeled as a discrete function that contains all available information on network component interactions. From this function we can derive a graph representation of the network structure as well as of…
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…
Autocatalysis underlies the ability of chemical and biochemical systems to replicate. Recently, Blokhuis et al. gave a stoechiometric definition of autocatalysis for reaction networks, stating the existence of a combination of reactions…
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 derive learning rules for finding the connections between units in stochastic dynamical networks from the recorded history of a ``visible'' subset of the units. We consider two models. In both of them, the visible units are binary and…
