We investigate species-rich mathematical models of ecosystems. While much of the existing literature focuses on the properties of equilibrium fixed points, persistent dynamics (e.g., limit cycles or chaos) have also been observed, both in…
In this paper, we propose a novel technique, referred to as the Lyapunov Function PDEs technique, to diagnose persistence of chemical reaction networks with mass-action kinetics. The technique allows that every network is attached to a…
Reaction-diffusion processes can be adopted to model a large number of dynamics on complex networks, such as transport processes or epidemic outbreaks. In most cases, however, they have been studied from a fermionic perspective, in which…
The aim of this expository paper is twofold. We start with a concise overview of the theory of invariant slow manifolds for fast-slow dynamical systems starting with the work by Tikhonov and Fenichel to the most recent works on…
Mass-action kinetics is frequently used in systems biology to model the behaviour of interacting chemical species. Many important dynamical properties are known to hold for such systems if they are weakly reversible and have a low…
The aim of this work is to make available to the community a large collection of mass-action reaction networks of a given size for further research. The set is limited to what can be computed on a modern multi-core desktop in reasonable…
We consider two models of deterministic active particles in an external potential. In the limit where the speed of a particle is fixed, both models coincide and can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system, but only if the potential is…
In this paper, we study unique, globally defined uniformly bounded weak solutions for a class of semilinear reaction-diffusion-advection systems. The coefficients of the differential operators and the initial data are only required to be…
Persistence and permanence are properties of dynamical systems that describe the long-term behavior of the solutions, and in particular specify whether positive solutions approach the boundary of the positive orthant. Mass-action systems…
In this paper we investigate the bifurcation structure of the triangular SKT model in the weak competition regime and of the corresponding fast-reaction system in 1D and 2D domains via numerical continuation methods. We show that the…
Stochastic models of reaction-diffusion systems are important for the study of biochemical reaction networks where species are present in low copy numbers or if reactions are highly diffusion limited. In living cells many such systems…
In asymptotic regimes, both in time and space (network size), the derivation of network capacity results is grossly simplified by brushing aside queueing behavior in non-Jackson networks. This simplifying double-limit model, however, lends…
We study large classes of real-valued analytic functions that naturally emerge in the understanding of Dulac's problem, which addresses the finiteness of limit cycles in planar differential equations. Building on a Maximum Modulus-type…
Mass-action networks are special cases of chemical reaction networks. For these systems, we argue that conserved quantities are dual to internal cycles. We introduce maximal invariant polyhedral supports, and we conjecture that there is a…
The concept of the limiting step is extended to the asymptotology of multiscale reaction networks. Complete theory for linear networks with well separated reaction rate constants is developed. We present algorithms for explicit…
We study the bifurcation of limit cycles from the periodic orbits of $2n$--dimensional linear centers $\dot{x} = A_0 x$ when they are perturbed inside classes of continuous and discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems of control…
By introducing a max-plus dynamical system having limit cycles, we discuss their periodicity, especially the number of discrete states in them. We also find that quasi-periodic cycles exist depending on the bifurcation parameter in the…
Bistability and multistationarity are properties of reaction networks linked to switch-like responses and connected to cell memory and cell decision making. Determining whether and when a network exhibits bistability is a hard and open…
Mobile microscopic bodies, such as motile cells, can be modelled phenomenologically as ``active particles'' which can move against external forces by depleting an internal energy depot. The microscopic mechanisms underlying such ``active''…
It is well known that linear vector fields defined in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can not have limit cycles, but this is not the case for linear vector fields defined in other manifolds. We study the existence of limit cycles bifurcating from a…
