Coarse-graining the Dynamics of Ideal Branched Polymers
AbstractWe define a class of local stochastic rewrite rules on directed site trees. We give a compact presentation of (often countably infinite) coarse-grained differential systems describing the dynamics of these rules in the deterministic limit, and study in a simple case finite approximations based on truncations to a certain size. We show an application to the modelling of the dynamics of sugar polymers
Rate Equations for Graphs
In this paper, we combine ideas from two different scientific traditions: 1)
graph transformation systems (GTSs) stemming from the theory of formal
languages and concurrency, and 2) mean field approximations (MFAs), a
collection of approximation techniques ubiquitous in the study of complex
dynamics. Using existing tools from algebraic graph rewriting, as well as new
ones, we build a framework which generates rate equations for stochastic GTSs
and from which one can derive MFAs of any order (no longer limited to the
humanly computable). The procedure for deriving rate equations and their
approximations can be automated. An implementation and example models are
available online at https://rhz.github.io/fragger. We apply our techniques and
tools to derive an expression for the mean velocity of a two-legged walker
protein on DNA.Comment: to be presented at the 18th International Conference on Computational
Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB 2020
