Workshop
REACTION NETWORK ANALYSIS OF KINETIC SYSTEMS
VIA NETWORK TRANSFORMATIONS
Description
In this workshop, participants will learn fundamental concepts of reaction network theory to analyze various kinetic systems. Since some reaction networks may lack properties for thorough analysis, we will introduce network operations that will induce network transformations. These operations include Shifting, Scaling, Dividing, Merging, and Splitting, each designed to adapt network structures for deeper insights.
Examples throughout the workshop will feature different carbon cycle models such as the power law kinetic representations of the pre-industrial models of Schmitz [1], Anderies et al. [2], and Heck et al. [3]. Moreover, participants will gain hands-on experience with software tools specifically developed for reaction network analysis.
