We describe a new algorithm for simulating complex Markoff-processes. We have used a reaction-cell method in order to simulate arbitrary reactions. It can be used for any kind of RDS on arbitrary topologies, including fractal dimensions or…
The number of molecules involved in a cell or subcellular structure is sometimes rather small. In this situation, ordinary macroscopic-level fluctuations can be overwhelmed by non-negligible large fluctuations, which results in drastic…
We study a simplified scheme of $k$ coupled autocatalytic reactions, previously introduced by Togashi and Kaneko. The role of stochastic fluctuations is elucidated through the use of the van Kampen system-size expansion and the results…
In this paper we investigate the normal and the large fluctuations of additive functionals associated with a stochastic process under a general non-Poissonian resetting mechanism. Cumulative functionals of regenerative processes are very…
Chemical reactions inside cells are generally considered to happen within fixed-size compartments. Needless to say, cells and their compartments are highly dynamic. Thus, such stringent assumptions may not reflect biochemical reality, and…
A common model of stochastic auto-regulatory gene expression describes promoter switching via cooperative protein binding, effective protein production in the active state and dilution of proteins. Here we consider an extension of this…
A reduced chemical scheme involving a small number of variables is often sufficient to account for the deterministic evolution of the concentrations of the main species contributing to a reaction. However its predictions are questionable in…
Biochemical reactions involving three or more reactants, called higher-molecular reactions, play an important role in theoretical systems and synthetic biology. In particular, such reactions underpin a variety of important bio-dynamical…

Stochastic systems have a control-theoretic interpretation in which noise plays the role of control. In the weak-noise limit, relevant at low temperatures or in large populations, this leads to a precise mathematical mapping: the most…
This chapter provides a pedagogical introduction and overview of spatial and temporal correlation and fluctuation effects resulting from the fundamentally stochastic kinetics underlying chemical reactions and the dynamics of populations or…
A dynamical mean-field theory is developed to analyze stochastic single-cell dynamics of gene expression. By explicitly taking account of nonequilibrium and nonadiabatic features of the DNA state fluctuation, two-time correlation functions…
We explore a new framework for describing the kinetics of a heterogeneous chemical reaction where two particles of the same chemical species form a reaction product of another chemical species on the surface of a seed particle. Traditional…
It is well-established that including spatial structure and stochastic noise in models for predator-prey interactions invalidates the classical deterministic Lotka-Volterra picture of neutral population cycles. In contrast, stochastic…
