Convergence of stochastic gene networks to hybrid piecewise deterministic processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the asymptotic behavior of multiscale stochastic gene networks using weak limits of Markov jump processes. Depending on the time and concentration scales of the system we distinguish four types of limits: continuous piecewise deterministic processes (PDP) with switching, PDP with jumps in the continuous variables, averaged PDP, and PDP with singular switching. We justify rigorously the convergence for the four types of limits. The convergence results can be used to simplify the stochastic dynamics of gene network models arising in molecular biology.

Error Bound for Piecewise Deterministic Processes Modeling Stochastic Reaction Systems
Biological processes involving the random interaction of d species with integer particle numbers are often modeled by a Markov jump process on N0. Realizations of this process can, in principle, be generated with the classical stochastic simulation algorithm proposed in [19], but for very reactive systems this method is usually inefficient. Hybrid models based on piecewise deterministic process...

Discreteness and continuity are two opposite ways of describing the world. However, there are many situations, from engines to cells, in which an hybrid description, mixing both such ingredients, seems more adequate. In this presentation, we focus on stochastic hybrid systems. We present Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes, and we provide a simpler description language, Transition-Driven S...
متن کاملBisimulation for Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (CPDPs)
CPDPs (Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes) can be used for compositional specification of systems from the class of stochastic hybrid processes formed by PDPs (Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes). We define CPDPs and the composition of CPDPs, and prove that the class of CPDPs is closed under composition. Then we introduce a notion of bisimulation for PDPs and CPDPs and...
متن کاملOn the Hamiltonian structure of large deviations in stochastic hybrid systems
We develop the connection between large deviation theory and more applied approaches to stochastic hybrid systems by highlighting a common underlying Hamiltonian structure. A stochastic hybrid system involves the coupling between a piecewise deterministic dynamical system in Rd and a time-homogeneous Markov chain on some discrete space Γ. We assume that the Markov chain on Γ is ergodic, and tha...

We present limit theorems for a sequence of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMPs) taking values in a separable Hilbert space. This class of processes provides a rigorous framework for stochastic spatial models in which discrete random events are globally coupled with continuous space-dependent variables solving partial differential equations, e.g., stochastic hybrid models of excitab...
