Transition state theory is a standard framework for predicting the rate of a chemical reaction. Although the transition state theory has been successfully applied to numerous chemical reaction analyses, many experimental and theoretical…

Reaction-diffusion systems which include processes of the form A+A->A or A+A->0 are characterised by the appearance of `imaginary' multiplicative noise terms in an effective Langevin-type description. However, if `real' as well as…

Stochastic reaction networks are mathematical models frequently used in, but not limited to, biochemistry. These models are continuous-time Markov chains whose transition rates depend on certain parameters called rate constants, which…
