DY 34: Symposium SYGP: Stochastic Dynamics of Growth Processes in Biological and Social Systems

DY 34.5: Invited Talk

Thursday, April 3, 2014, 17:15–17:45, HSZ 02

Von Neumann's growth model: from statistical mechanics to cell metabolism — •Andrea De Martino — Sapienza Universita' di Roma & CNR, Roma, Italy

This talk reviews the basic properties of Von Neumann's model of growth in production economies, mainly from a statistical mechanics perspective. In addition, I will discuss its recent applications in quantitative biology, for the profiling of a cell's metabolic activity and of its thermodynamics. Finally, a class of Boolean constraint-satisfaction problems based on Von Neumann's idea will be presented, whose solutions allow to shed new light on the modular organization of metabolic networks.
