Cycles and Global Attractors of Reaction Systems
Résumé
Reaction systems are a recent formal model inspired by the chemical reactions that happen inside cells and possess many different dynamical behaviours. In this work we continue a recent investigation of the complexity of detecting some interesting dynamical behaviours in reaction system. We prove that detecting global behaviours such as the presence of global attractors is PSPACE - complete. Deciding the presence of cycles in the dynamics and many other related problems are also PSPACE - complete. Deciding bijectivity is, on the other hand, a coNP - complete problem.
