An Efficient Algorithm for Determining the Equivalence of Zero-one Reaction Networks

Zero-one reaction networks play a crucial role in cell signaling. Determining the equivalence of reaction networks is a fundamental computational problem in the field of chemical reaction networks. In this work, we develop an efficient method for determining the equivalence of zero-one networks. The efficiency comes from several criteria for determining the equivalence of the steady-state ideals arising from zero-one networks, which helps for cutting down the expenses on computing Grobner bases. Experiments show that our method can successfully classify over three million networks according to their equivalence in a reasonable time.
