Abstract

Chemical reaction networks with arbitrary constant delays assigned to the reactions are studied in this paper. The delayed models are approximated using the chain method known from the theory of differential equations. It is shown that important structural properties (such as reversibility and deficiency) of the approximated models are preserved in the approximating reaction networks. Moreover, the approximation gives rise to a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional candidate for the original delayed systems that can be efficiently used for stability analysis.
