摘要:AbstractThis paper studies the properties of closed reacting systems described by mass-action kinetics. Following recent developments in potential-driven kinetic representations and stability analysis of (open) reacting systems, this paper seeks to develop a framework where both thermodynamically-consistent reaction fluxes and stoichiometry play a role in the identification of invariants and on stability analysis. Following some observations from the literature, the proposed approach seek to re-express mass-action kinetics in terms a potential-driven dynamical system. The proposed approach consists in the homotopy decomposition of the mass-action kinetic to compute such a potential-driven representation. An example is considered to illustrate the proposed approach.
