The goal of this paper is to gather and develop some necessary and sufficient criteria for injectivity and multistationarity in vector fields associated with a chemical reaction network under a variety of more or less general assumptions on…
It has been recently observed that the dynamical properties of mass action systems arising from many models of biochemical reaction networks can be derived by considering the corresponding properties of a related generalized mass action…
Robustness of biochemical systems has become one of the central questions in systems biology although it is notoriously difficult to formally capture its multifaceted nature. Maintenance of normal system function depends not only on the…
An important dynamical property of biological interaction networks is persistence, which intuitively means that "no species goes extinct". It has been conjectured that dynamical system models of weakly reversible networks (i.e., networks…
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…
Reaction networks are mainly used to model the time-evolution of molecules of interacting chemical species. Stochastic models are typically used when the counts of the molecules are low, whereas deterministic models are used when the counts…
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…
New checkable criteria for persistence of chemical reaction networks are proposed, which extend and complement those obtained by the authors in previous work. The new results allow the consideration of reaction rates which are time-varying,…
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…
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…
A novel framework has recently been proposed for designing the molecular structure of chemical compounds with a desired chemical property, where design of novel drugs is an important topic in bioinformatics and chemo-informatics. The…
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…
Stochasticity is a key characteristic of intracellular processes such as gene regulation and chemical signalling. Therefore, characterising stochastic effects in biochemical systems is essential to understand the complex dynamics of living…
A numerically effective procedure for determining weakly reversible chemical reaction networks that are linearly conjugate to a known reaction network is proposed in this paper. The method is based on translating the structural and…
In the study of reaction networks and the polynomial dynamical systems that they generate, special classes of networks with important properties have been identified. These include reversible, weakly reversible}, and, more recently,…
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…
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…
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…
In the first part of this paper, we propose new optimization-based methods for the computation of preferred (dense, sparse, reversible, detailed and complex balanced) linearly conjugate reaction network structures with mass action dynamics.…
In contrast to electronic computation, chemical computation is noisy and susceptible to a variety of sources of error, which has prevented the construction of robust complex systems. To be effective, chemical algorithms must be designed…
