Weekly Notes for Week 40

This week(40) we will first finish finding cycles/rings and I will present also applications of MCB. The I will focus on Petri Nets, applications of how to use them in Chemistry and Systems Biology will be presented.

• Mandatory Reading:

  • (Applications of MCB): Minimum Cycle Bases and Their Applications, Franziska Berger, Peter Gritzmann, and Sven de Vries - only section 3.2 is mandatory – (Petri Nets): The slides for the lectures should cover everything.

• Recommended Reading:

  – Murata, Tadao:Petri Nets: Properties, Analysis and Applications. In: Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 77, No. 4, pages 541-580. April 1989.

• Voluntary Reading:

  – Monika Heiner, David Gilbert, Robin Donaldson: Petri Nets for Systems and Synthetic Biology. SFM 2008: 215-264 – Javier Esparza: Decidability and Complexity of Petri Net Problems - An Introduction. Petri Nets 1996: 374-428
