Lao" ], "categories": [ "math.DS" ], "abstract": "Robustness against the presence of environmental disruptions can be observed in many systems of chemical reaction network. However, identifying the underlying components of a system that give rise to robustness is often elusive. The influential work of Shinar and Feinberg established simple yet subtle network-based conditions for absolute concentration robustness (ACR), a phenomena in which a species in a mass-action system has the same concentration for any steady state the network may admit. In this contribution, we extend this result to embrace kinetic systems more general than mass-action systems, namely, power-law kinetic systems with reactant-determined interactions (denoted by \"PL-RDK\"). In PL-RDK, the kinetic order vectors (which we call \"interactions\") of reactions with the same reactant complex are identical. As illustration, we considered a scenario in the pre-industrial state of global carbon cycle. A power-law approximation of the dynamical system of this scenario is found to be dynamically equivalent to an ACR-possessing PL-RDK system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-13T05:41:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "power-law kinetic systems", "reactant-determined interactions", "mass-action system", "kinetic order vectors", "embrace kinetic systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
