Positional information trade-offs in boundary-driven reaction–diffusion systems by Jonas Berx, Prashant Singh, Karel Proesmans

“…We show that in boundary-driven simple exclusion systems with position-dependent Langmuir kinetics, non-trivial Pareto-optimal trade-offs exist between the PI, rescaled entropy production rate and global reaction current. Phase transitions in the optimal protocols that tune the densities of the system boundaries emerge as a result, showing that distinct protocols are able to exchange global optimality similar to phase coexistence in liquid–gas phase transitions, and that increasing the PI can lead to diminishing returns when considering increased dissipation.…”
