- OA-NONNEGATIVE LINEAR ELIMINATION FOR CHEMICAL
Accepted author manuscript, 403 KB, PDF document
We consider linear elimination of variables in the steady state equations of a chem- ical reaction network. Particular subsets of variables corresponding to sets of so-called reactant- noninteracting species, are introduced. The steady state equations for the variables in such a set, taken together with potential linear conservation laws in the variables, define a linear system of equa- tions. We give conditions that guarantee that the solution to this system is nonnegative, provided it is unique. The results are framed in terms of spanning forests of a particular multidigraph derived from the reaction network and thereby conditions for uniqueness and nonnegativity of a solution are derived by means of the multidigraph. Though our motivation comes from applications in systems biology, the results have general applicability in applied sciences.
