Autocatalysis in Reaction Networks
The persistence conjecture is a long-standing open problem in chemical reaction network theory. It concerns the behavior of solutions to coupled ODE systems that arise from applying mass-action kinetics to a network of chemical reactions. The idea is that if all reactions are reversible in a weak sense, then no species can go extinct. A notion that has been found useful in thinking about persis...

The behaviour of a system comprising two competitive autocatalytic processes, A ] B] 2B, and A] C] 2C, rate \ k1a6 b 6 where and represent the concentrations of the various species, is considered. In a well-stirred batch reactor, the rate \ 2 a6 c6 , a6 , b 6 c6 Ðnal equilibrium composition always corresponds to a mixture of the two product species B and C, with their respective equilibrium con...
متن کاملMaximizing Output and Recognizing Autocatalysis in Chemical Reaction Networks is NP-Complete
Background: A classical problem in metabolic design is to maximize the production of a desired compound in a given chemical reaction network by appropriately directing the mass flow through the network. Computationally, this problem is addressed as a linear optimization problem over the flux cone. The prior construction of the flux cone is computationally expensive and no polynomial-time algori...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity and the stability of reaction states in autocatalysis.
The impact of stochasticity and spatial heterogeneity on the quadratic autocatalytic system is studied. In a nonspatial setting the reactive state of the system is found to be unstable in small volumes where internal fluctuations drive the system to the unreactive state. This phenomena is of potential importance to the stability of reactions in biological cells. A simple spatial model is constr...
متن کاملDiffusive fingering in a precipitation reaction driven by autocatalysis.
The interaction of an autocatalytic reaction with a fast precipitation reaction is shown to produce a permanent precipitate pattern where the major driving force is differential diffusion. The final structure emerges from the leading transient cellular front, the cusps of which evolve into precipitate free zones. The experimental observations are reproduced by a simple model calculation based o...
