Persistence and stability of generalized ribosome flow models with time-varying transition rates

Abstract

In this paper the qualitative dynamical properties of so-called generalized ribosome flow models are studied. Ribosome flow models known from the literature are generalized by allowing an arbitrary directed network structure between the compartments and secondly, by assuming a general time-varying rate function describing the compartmental transitions. Persistence of the dynamics is shown using the chemical reaction network (CRN) representation of the system. We show the stability of different compartmental structures including strongly connected ones with an entropy-like logarithmic Lyapunov function. The L1 contractivity of solutions is also studied in the case of periodic reaction rates having the same period. It is also shown that different Lyapunov functions may be assigned to the same model depending on the factorization of the reaction rates.
