The Subnetwork Corollary provides some sufficient conditions for which a complex reaction network could be determined to have capacity of admitting multiple positive steady‐states, if it contains a subnetwork that also admit multiple positive steady‐states. A family of reaction networks, involving catalytic reactions in an isothermal continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR), is determined to have the capacity to exhibit steady‐state multiplicity by implementation of the Deficiency One Algorithm and the Subnetwork Corollary. A set of rate constants and two corresponding positive steady‐states are constructed for several cases.
