Angeli, De Leenheer, and Sontag, “A Petri net approach to the study of persistence in chemical reaction networks” (arXiv q-bio/0608019, 2006) uses Petri-net structure (the T-invariants/P-invariants and siphons we discussed) to prove persistence — that no species goes extinct — which complements the monotone-convergence results.
