Reachability Analysis of Low-Order Discrete State Reaction Networks Obeying Conservation Laws

Figure 1

A discrete state chemical reaction network. Left: reaction network structure. The nodes and directed edges represent the complexes and the reactions, respectively. The numbers on the edges denote a fixed ordering of the reactions. Right: the stoichiometric matrix associated with the system, i.e. is the net change in the number of the ’th species upon occurring the ’th reaction.
