Motivated by recent progress on the interplay between graph theory, dynamics, and systems we revisit analysis of chemical reaction networks described mass action kinetics. For possessing a thermodynamic equilibrium derive compact formulation exhibiting at same time structure complex stoichiometry network, which admits direct thermodynamical interpretation. This allows us to easily characterize set positive equilibria their stability properties. Furthermore, develop framework for...

The proceeds stepwise in the number complexes, defined as left right-hand sides reactions network. It is based on Kron weighted Laplacian matrix, which describes graph structure complexes does not rely prior knowledge dynamic behaviour network hence can be automated, demonstrate. reduced has...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), main products intestinal bacterial fermentation fiber, been suggested to play a key role. Whether concentration SCFAs or their metabolism drives these is not yet clear. In this study we investigated SCFA concentrations and in vivo host uptake fluxes absence presence fiber guar gum.

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

Central this definition balanced Laplacian matrix on graph complexes together with resulting fundamental...
The problem of deriving reduced-order models a higher-dimensional system from its state-space description is considered under the constraint that model-reduction procedure should not involve evaluation eigenvalues, any optimisation algorithm and yield stable lower-order model for system.

The roots of palindromic and antipalindromic polynomials appear in pairs (lambda,1/lambda). A polynomial with such is if only addition, it has a root at 1 an odd multiplicity. result applications system theory: 1) any kernel representation discrete-time, time-reversible, scalar, autonomous LTI either or antipalindromic. (Similar statement holds for systems inputs.) 2) representations have nontrivial conserved quantities.
