Hi everyone,I’m an independent researcher and I’ve just released a new open‑access paper:
Tropical Geometry and Biochemical Reaction Networks: A Mathematical Framework for Steady-State Topology
The paper develops a transparent, reproducible method for analyzing biochemical reaction networks using tropical geometry—a piecewise‑linear approximation that reveals dominant pathways and regime structure without requiring precise parameter values.
Open-Science Features
Fully open-access manuscript
Complete code repository included
All case studies (from enzyme kinetics to glycolysis) are reproducible
Framework designed to be accessible to researchers outside traditional institutions
Emphasizes interpretability, transparency, and parameter‑robust predictions
The goal is to provide a mathematically rigorous yet accessible tool for analyzing complex biochemical systems, especially in contexts where parameter uncertainty is high.
Happy to answer questions or collaborate with others working in open theoretical biology, computational modeling, or geometric methods.
