Discrete Vector Models for Catalysis and Autocatalysis

Table 4

Conditions for special cases of autocatalysis derived from unified autocatalysis.

Type of autocatalysis	Conditions for exponents p, q, r, and s
Master-autocatalysis	(𝑝=1)⋀(𝑞≥1)⋀(𝑟=0)⋀(𝑠=𝑞+1)
Slave-autocatalysis	(𝑝≥2)⋀(𝑞=0)⋀(𝑟=𝑝−1)⋀(𝑠=1)
Multiple-copy autocatalysis	(𝑝=𝑠≥2)⋀(𝑞=𝑟=0)
