We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
We present a mathematical definition for the attainable region of a dynamical system, with primary focus on mass action kinetics for chemical reactions. We characterise this region for linear dynamical systems, and we report on experiments and conjectures for weakly reversible systems with linkage class one. A construction due to Vinzant is adapted to give a representation of faces in the convex hull of trajectories.
