Associated with a chemical reaction network is a natural labelled bipartite multigraph termed an SR graph, and its directed version, the DSR graph. These objects are closely related to Petri nets. The construction of SR and DSR graphs for…

Chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are directed graphs with reactant or product complexes as vertices, and reactions as arcs. A CRN is weakly reversible if each of its connected components is strongly connected. Weakly reversible networks…
