Abstract
This paper presents a symbolic algorithm for computing the ODE systems which describe the evolution of the moments associated to a chemical reaction system, considered from a stochastic point of view. The algorithm, which is formulated in the Weyl algebra, seems more efficient than the corresponding method, based on partial derivatives. In particular, an efficient method for handling conservation laws is presented. The output of the algorithm can be used for a further investigation of the system behaviour, by numerical methods. Relevant examples are carried out.
