The results are primarily linear algebraic or matrix-theoretic, with some graph-theoretic corollaries also mentioned. Where possible, elementary proofs are presented, and a number of examples are provided to illustrate the variety of subtly different conclusions which can be reached via different computations. In addition, many of the computations are implemented in a web-based open source platform, allowing the reader to test examples including and beyond those analysed in the paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-01-21T11:25:05.000Z", "abstract": "The goal of this paper is to gather and develop some necessary and sufficient criteria for injectivity and multistationarity of vector fields associated with a chemical reaction network under a variety of more or less general assumptions on the nature of the network and the reaction rates.
