## Abstract

A class of chemical reaction networks is described with the property that each positive equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable relative to its stoichiometry class, an invariant subspace on which it lies. The reaction systems treated are characterised primarily by the existence of a certain factorisation of their stoichiometric matrix, and strong connectedness of an associated graph. Only very mild assumptions are made about the rates of reactions, and in particular, mass action kinetics are not assumed. In many cases, local asymptotic stability can be extended to global asymptotic stability of each positive equilibrium relative to its stoichiometry class. The results are proved via the construction of Lyapunov functions whose existence follows from the fact that the reaction networks define monotone dynamical systems with increasing integrals.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
