14 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 14 Weak reversibility Definition 1 A chemical reaction network, {S, C, R}, is called weakly reversible if for any reaction ν k ν k, there is a sequence of directed reactions beginning with ν k as a source complex and ending with ν k as a product complex. That is, there exist complexes ν 1,..., ν r such that ν k ν 1, ν 1 ν 2,..., ν r ν k R. A network is called reversible if ν k ν k R whenever ν k ν k R.

15 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 15 Linkage classes Let G be the directed graph with nodes given by the complexes C and directed edges given by the reactions R = {ν k ν k }, and let G 1,..., G l denote the connected components of G. {G j } are the linkage classes of the reaction network. Intuition for probabilists: If the network is weakly reversible, then, thinking of the complexes as states of a Markov chain, the linkage classes are the irreducible communicating equivalence classes of classical Markov chain theory. BUT, these equivalence classes do not correspond to the communicating equivalence classes of the Markov chain model of the reaction network.

16 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 16 Stoichiometric subspace Definition 2 S = span {νk ν k R}{ν k ν k} is the stoichiometric subspace of the network. For c R m we say c + S and (c + S) R m > are the stoichiometric compatibility classes and positive stoichiometric compatibility classes of the network, respectively. Denote dim(s) = s. Note that X(t) X() S. If the network is weakly reversible, then the communicating equivalence classes for the Markov chain model are of the form {z + k a k (ν k ν k ) : a = (a 1,..., a n ) Z n } for some z Z m.

17 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 17 Deficiency of a network Definition 3 The deficiency of a a chemical reaction network, {S, C, R}, is δ = C l s, where C is the number of complexes, l is the number of linkage classes, and s is the dimension of the stoichiometric subspace. Lemma 4 (Feinberg (1987)) The deficiency of a network is nonnegative. Proof. Let C i be the complexes in the ith linkage class and let S i be the span of the reaction vectors giving the edges in the ith linkage class. Then dim(s i ) C i 1 and dim(s) i dim(s i ) l C i l = C l. i=1

18 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 18 Deficiency zero theorem Theorem 5 (The Deficiency Zero Theorem, Feinberg (1987)) Let {S, C, R} be a weakly reversible, deficiency zero chemical reaction network with mass action kinetics. Then, for any choice of rate constants κ k, within each positive stoichiometric compatibility class there is precisely one equilibrium value c, k κ kc ν k (ν k ν k) =, and that equilibrium value is locally asymptotically stable relative to its compatibility class. More precisely, for each η C, κ k c ν k = κ k c νk. (1) k:ν k =η k:ν k =η c ν k = m i=1 c ν ki i

19 First Prev Next Go To Go Back Full Screen Close Quit 19 Zero deficiency theorem for stochastic models For x Z m, c x = m i=1 cx i i k:ν k =η and x! = m i=1 x i!. If c R m > satisfies κ k c ν k = then the network is complex balanced. k:ν k =η κ k c νk, η C, (2) Theorem 6 ( Kelly (1979),Anderson, Craciun, and Kurtz (21)) Let {S, C, R} be a chemical reaction network with rate constants κ k. Suppose that the system is complex balanced with equilibrium c R m >. Then, for any irreducible communicating equivalence class, Γ, the stochastic system has a product form stationary measure π(x) = M cx, x! x Γ, (3) where M is a normalizing constant.
