Abstract A chemical reaction network can admit multiple positive steady states if and only if there exists a positive steady state having a zero eigenvalue with its eigenvector in the stoichiometric subspace. A zero eigenvalue analysis is proposed which provides a necessary and sufficient condition to determine the possibility of the existence of such a steady state. The condition forms a system of inequalities and equations. If a set of solutions for the system is found, then the network under study is able to admit multiple positive steady states for some positive rate constants. Otherwise, the network can exhibit at most one steady state, no matter what positive rate constants the system might have. The construction of a zero-eigenvalue positive steady state and a set of positive rate constants is also presented. The analysis is demonstrated by two examples.

Abstract We study families of chemical reaction networks whose positive steady states are toric, and therefore can be parameterized by monomials. Families are constructed algorithmically from a core network; we show that if a family member is multistationary, then so are all subsequent networks in the family. Further, we address the questions of model selection and experimental design for families by investigating the algebraic dependencies of the chemical concentrations using matroids. Given a family with toric steady states and a constant number of conservation relations, we construct a matroid that encodes important information regarding the steady state behaviour of the entire family. Among other things, this gives necessary conditions for the distinguishability of families of reaction networks with respect to a data set of measured chemical concentrations. We illustrate our results using multi-site phosphorylation networks.

This paper is concerned with the Holling–Tanner prey–predator model with diffusion subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We obtain the existence and non-existence of positive non-constant steady states.
