From: Roles of network topology in the relaxation dynamics of simple chemical reaction network models
(A) The two networks G and H, sharing some chemical species, including the source and the target, are combined to form the union network \(G\cup H\). Each network G and H has a non-zero rank gap \(\delta\), and network H has one conserved quantity. However, the combined network has zero rank gap and no conserved quantity. (B and C) The time courses of the network G (B) and H (C) exhibit the power-law or the confined-plateau type relaxation due to the non-zero rank gap. (D) Since \(\delta\) and I are both zero in the combined network \(G\cup H\), the relaxation time courses is of the exponential type.
