Complex and detailed balancing of chemical reaction networks revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characterization of the notions of complex and detailed balancing for mass action kinetics chemical reaction networks is revisited from the perspective of algebraic graph theory, in particular Kirchhoff’s Matrix Tree theorem for directed weighted graphs. This yields an elucidation of previously obtained results, in particular with respect to the Wegscheider conditions, and a new necessary and sufficient condition for complex balancing, which can be verified constructively.

Finding complex balanced and detailed balanced realizations of chemical reaction networks
Reversibility, weak reversibility and deficiency, detailed and complex balancing are generally not "encoded" in the kinetic differential equations but they are realization properties that may imply local or even global asymptotic stability of the underlying reaction kinetic system when further conditions are also fulfilled. In this paper, efficient numerical procedures are given for finding com...
متن کاملKinetic Mechanism Reduction Using Genetic Algorithms, Case Study on H2/O2 Reaction
For large and complex reacting systems, computational efficiency becomes a critical issue in process simulation, optimization and model-based control. Mechanism simplification is often a necessity to improve computational speed. We present a novel approach to simplification of reaction networks that formulates the model reduction problem as an optimization problem and solves it using geneti...
متن کاملComplex-Balanced Steady States of Chemical Reaction Networks that Contain an Eulerian Cycle
This work pertains to chemical reaction networks and their equilibria, called steady-states. Our main result states that for a cyclic chemical reaction network, there is a straightforward characterization for when a complex balancing steady state exists. We then extend our results to chemical reaction networks consisting of a closed path traversing each directed edge exactly once.

Mass action systems capture chemical reaction networks in homogeneous and dilute solutions. We suggest a notion of generalized mass action systems that admits arbitrary power-law rate functions and serves as a more realistic model for reaction networks in intracellular environments. In addition to the complexes of a network and the related stoichiometric subspace, we introduce corresponding kin...
متن کاملToric dynamical systems
We develop the algebraic theory of toric dynamical systems. These dynamical systems have the property that both their steady state loci and their moduli spaces are toric varieties. In the context of mass-action kinetics in chemistry, they are precisely the reaction networks that admit a complex balancing state. This steady state is unique within each invariant polyhedron. Toric dynamical system...
