Sign Conditions for Injectivity of Generalized Polynomial Maps with Applications to Chemical ...
summary
Gives a concrete theorem: a parametrized family of generalized polynomial maps (including mass-action ODEs) is injective for all rate constants exactly when certain signed determinants of submatrices and the sets of sine (sign) vectors do not conflict, equivalently when the Jacobian is injective on the stoichiometric subspace. Uses determinant sign tests, sign‑vector combinatorics and Newton‑polytope geometry; yields at most one positive steady state (covers many small networks up to about five or six species) and connects to a multivariate Descartes‑type criterion.
