On the Lyapunov function for complex-balanced mass-action systems
arXiv:1312.3043
Abstract
We present a new proof, using the log-sum inequality, that the pseudo-Helmholtz free energy function is a Lyapunov function for complex-balanced mass-action systems. This proof is shorter and simpler than previous proofs.
