Transformations of Reaction Systems Over Categories by Means of Epi-Mono Factorization and Functors

摘要

A categorical approach to reaction systems is a generalization and unification of the intensely studied set-based and graph-based reaction systems such that a wider spectrum of data structures becomes available on which reaction systems can be based. Many types of graphs, hypergraphs, and graph-like structures are covered. As a class of suitable categories, eiu-categories have been introduced, which are closely related to well-known adhesive categories. In this paper, transformations of reaction systems over eiu-categories by means of epi-mono factorization and functors are investigated.
