Abstract

If the complex vectors of a chemical mechanism are independent, the deficiency of the mechanism is zero. Some nonlinear systems without autocatalysis, autoinhibition and cooperativity are shown to have this property and, therefore, to have a unique equilibrium point that is globally asymptotically stable if weak revesibility is fulfilled.

Abstract

Если комплексные векторы химического механизма являются независимыми, то дефицитность механизма равна нулю. Было показано, что некоторые нелинейные системы без автокатлиза, автоингибирования и кооперативности обладают этим свойством, роэтому они имеют уникальную точку равновесия, которая является глобально асимптотически стабильной, если выполняется условие слабой обратимости.
