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…
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…
There have been recent theoretic results that provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a species displaying absolute concentration robustness (ACR) in a power law kinetic (PLK) system. One such result involves the detection of ACR…
Network translation has recently been used to establish steady state properties of mass action systems by corresponding the given system to a generalized one which is either dynamically or steady state equivalent. In this work we further…
We study the evolution of a random weighted network with complex nonlinear dynamics at each node, whose activity may cease as a result of interactions with other nodes. Starting from a knowledge of the micro-level behaviour at each node, we…
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…
For dynamical systems arising from chemical reaction networks, persistence is the property that each species concentration remains positively bounded away from zero, as long as species concentrations were all positive in the beginning. We…
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,…
The ability to achieve coordinated behavior --engineered or emergent-- on networked systems has attracted widespread interest over several fields. This has led to remarkable advances on the development of a theoretical understanding of the…
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…
Random graph models have been instrumental in characterizing complex networks, but chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are better represented as hypergraphs. Traditional models of random CRNs often reduce CRNs to bipartite graphs,…
We describe a large class of chemical reaction networks, those endowed with a subtle structural property called concordance. We show that the class of concordant networks coincides precisely with the class of networks which, when taken with…
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…
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,…
We provide conditions guaranteeing that certain classes of robust heteroclinic networks are asymptotically stable. We study the asymptotic stability of ac-networks --- robust heteroclinic networks that exist in smooth ${\mathbb…
We consider steady states of dynamics that have an underlying network structure. We study how a steady state responds to small perturbations in the network parameters and how this sensitivity is connected to the network structure. We…
We establish a new relationship between monotonicity and contractivity and use this connection to describe a new general class of weakly contractive reaction networks. The new class is characterized by the stoichiometry matrix of the…
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…
Most complex systems are nonlinear, relying on emergent behavior from interacting subsystems, often characterized by oscillatory dynamics. Collective oscillatory behavior is essential for the proper functioning of many real world systems.…
The long time behavior of a model for a first order, weakly reversible chemical reaction network is considered, where the movement of the reacting species is described by kinetic transport. The reactions are triggered by collisions with a…
