Sign Patterns and the Stoichiometric Matrix

Abstract:

\indent In chemical systems, one studies the concentrations of chemical species over time. Of particular interest are steady-state concentrations, and more specifically, when systems admits multiple equilibria. Recent results of Helton partially characterize this possibility in terms of the sign pattern of the stoichiometric matrix, where the stoichiometric matrix describes the chemical species' interactions.
