Formal Quantitative Analysis of Reaction Networks Using Chemical Organisation Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. Chemical organisation theory is a framework developed to simplify the analysis of long-term behaviour of chemical systems. An organisation is a set of objects which are closed and self-maintaining. In this paper, we build on these ideas to develop novel techniques for formal quantitative analysis of chemical reaction networks, using discrete stochastic models represented as continuous-time Markov chains. We propose methods to identify organisations, to study quantitative properties regarding movement between these organisations and to construct an organisation-based coarse graining of the model that can be used to approximate and predict the behaviour of the original reaction network.

متن کاملMinimal autocatalytic networks.
Self-sustaining autocatalytic chemical networks represent a necessary, though not sufficient condition for the emergence of early living systems. These networks have been formalised and investigated within the framework of RAF theory, which has led to a number of insights and results concerning the likelihood of such networks forming. In this paper, we extend this analysis by focussing on how s...

متن کاملChemical Organizations in a Toy Model of the Political System
Since sociology is seeking mechanisms for explaining social phenomena, we discuss in this paper, whether and how the metaphor of a chemical reaction network can be employed as a formal mechanism to describe social and political systems. A reaction network is a quite general concept, which allows to model a variety of dynamical systems. Further more, a set of powerful tools can infer potential d...
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...
