Stoichiometric matrix



 					Cracow, 4.11.94
 Hi,
 I am looking for the literature in which I could find some good
 discussion and historical overview (references!) of the thing called
 "stoichiometric matrix". What I need is a comprehensive theoretical
 analysis
 of the properties of such matrices, especially with regard to the conclusions
 about the consistency of reaction networks, conservation properties of reacting
 systems, implications for reaction kinetics, which can be drawn from such
 matrices. I am also interested in any particular numerical techniques which
 might have been developed especially for the analysis of the stoichiometric
 matrices. The problem seems to be that the term is used in some papers but
 people do not give much references.
 I will welcome any hints and suggestions, directly to my address:
