Mutual linearity of nonequilibrium network currents

PE Harunari, S Dal Cengio, V Lecomte, M Polettini - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
For continuous-time Markov chains and open unimolecular chemical reaction networks, we
prove that any two stationary currents are linearly related upon perturbations of a single …

General theory of static response for markov jump processes

T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We consider Markov jump processes on a graph described by a rate matrix that depends on
various control parameters. We derive explicit expressions for the static responses of edge …

Information propagation in multilayer systems with higher-order interactions across timescales

G Nicoletti, DM Busiello - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Complex systems are characterized by multiple spatial and temporal scales. A natural
framework to capture their multiscale nature is that of multilayer networks, where different …

Geometry of nonequilibrium reaction networks

S Dal Cengio, V Lecomte, M Polettini - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
The modern thermodynamics of discrete systems is based on graph theory, which provides
both algebraic methods to define observables and a geometric intuition of their meaning and …

A Nernst heat theorem for nonequilibrium jump processes

F Khodabandehlou, C Maes, K Netočný - The Journal of Chemical …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
We discuss via general arguments and examples when and why the steady nonequilibrium
heat capacity vanishes with temperature. The framework is that of Markov jump processes …

Complete characterization of robust perfect adaptation in biochemical reaction networks

Y Hirono, A Gupta, M Khammash - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.07444, 2023 - arxiv.org
Perfect adaptation is a phenomenon whereby the output variables of a system can maintain
certain values despite external disturbances. Robust perfect adaptation (RPA) refers to an …

Calcium oscillations optimize the energetic efficiency of mitochondrial metabolism

V Voorsluijs, F Avanzini, G Falasco, M Esposito… - Iscience, 2024 - cell.com
Energy transduction is central to living organisms, but the impact of enzyme regulation and
signaling on its thermodynamic efficiency is generally overlooked. Here, we analyze the …
