Title: Asymptotic multiscale approximation of chemical reaction networks
A reaction network is a chemical system involving multiple reactions and chemical species. The simplest stochastic model for a network treats the system as a continuous time Markov chain whose state is a vector giving the number of molecules of each species present with each reaction modeled as a possible transition for the state. We consider the case where the number of molecules involved, at least for some of the species, may be sufficiently small that the LLN deterministic model does not provide a good representation of the behavior of the system.
