Abstract

Models of biochemical reaction systems typically have large state spaces and complex structure. Stochastic limit theorems provide one approach to deriving less complex and more tractable models. Specifying models as solutions of equations of the formĀ (1.8) enables exploitation of the law of large numbers and central limit theorem for the driving Poisson processes to give analytic derivations of the simplified models.
