Abstract
In this paper, we extend our study of power law kinetic systems whose kinetic order vectors (which we call “interactions”) are reactant-determined (i.e. reactions with the same reactant complex have identical vectors) and are linear independent per linkage class. In particular, we consider PL-TLK systems, i.e. such whose T-matrix (the matrix with the interactions as columns indexed by the reactant complexes), when augmented with the rows of characteristic vectors of the linkage classes, has maximal column rank. Our main result states that any weakly reversible PL-TLK system has a complex balanced equilibrium. On the one hand, we consider this result as a “Higher Deficiency Theorem” for such systems since in our previous work, we derived analogues of the Deficiency Zero and the Deficiency One Theorems for mass action kinetics (MAK) systems for them, thus covering the “Low Deficiency” case. On the other hand, our result can also be viewed as a “Weak Reversibility Theorem” (WRT) in the sense that the statement “any weakly reversible system with a kinetics from the given set has a positive equilibrium” holds. According to the work of Deng et al. and more recently of Boros, such a WRT holds for MAK systems. However, we show that a WRT does not hold for two proper MAK supersets: the set PL-NIK of non-inhibitory power law kinetics (i.e. all kinetic orders are non-negative) and the set PL-FSK of factor span surjective power law kinetics (i.e. different reactants imply different interactions).
Highlights
In this paper we extend our study of power law inflow-excluded linear independent kinetics (PL-ILK) and its subsets that were introduced in [18]
In this paper, we extend our study of power law kinetic systems whose kinetic order vectors are reactant-determined and are linear independent per linkage class
Since PLLLK and PL-TLK are empty on networks with inflow reactions, the sets PL-ILK and PL-TIK were introduced on such networks after excluding the zero vector in the T matrix, they had the analogous properties of PL-LLK and PL-TLK
Summary
In this paper we extend our study of power law inflow-excluded linear independent kinetics (PL-ILK) and its subsets that were introduced in [18] (see Fig. 2 for an overview). The main results for PL-TIK systems in [18], which are reviewed and refined, were a “Lifting Theorem” for linkage class equilibria and analogues of the Deficiency Zero Theorem (DZT) and Deficiency One Theorem (DOT) for mass action kinetics (MAK) systems. We combine these analogues to a “Low Deficiency Theorem” in Sect. On networks with inflow reactions, we identify subsets of PL-TIK systems with the same property For such systems, if the network has independent linkage classes, the parametrization statement of the Low Deficiency Theorem is valid.
