Simplifying the Jacobian Criterion for Precluding Multistationarity in Chemical Reaction Networks

Chemical reaction networks taken with mass-action kinetics are dynamical systems that arise in chemical engineering and systems biology. In general, determining whether a chemical reaction network admits multiple steady states is difficult, as this requires determining existence of multiple positive solutions to a large system of polynomials with unknown coefficients. However, in certain cases, various easy criteria can be applied. One such test is the Jacobian criterion, due to Craciun and Feinberg, which gives sufficient conditions for ruling out the possibility of multiple steady states. A chemical reaction network is said to pass the Jacobian criterion if all terms in the determinant expansion of its parametrized Jacobian matrix have the same sign. In this article, we present a procedure which simplifies the application of the Jacobian criterion, and as a result, we identify a new class of networks for which multiple steady states is precluded: those in which all chemical species have total moleculari...
