Abstract

This study is concerned with chemical reaction networks endowed with polyPL kinetics, that is, the positive linear combination of power law kinetic systems. We discovered that complex balanced equilibria exist for weakly reversible poly-PL kinetics with zero kinetic reactant deficiency. The result is then applied to evolutionary games with replicator dynamics such that the polynomial payoff functions lead to polynomial kinetic systems, a subset of poly-PL kinetic systems. In particular, sufficient conditions to admit a zero kinetic reactant deficiency were derived for games with nonlinear payoff functions and poly-PL kinetics, allowing the application of the main result.
