Popis: An equivalence is shown between a large class of deterministic dynamical systems and a class of stochastic processes, the balanced urn processes. These dynamical systems are governed by quasi-polynomial differential systems that are widely used in mathematical modeling while urn processes are actively studied in combinatorics and probability theory. The presented equivalence extends a theorem by Flajolet et al. (Flajolet, Dumas and Puyhaubert Discr. Math. Theor. Comp. Sc. AG - 2006, DMTCS Proceedings) already establishing an isomorphism between urn processes and a particular class of differential systems with monomial vector fields. The present result is based on the fact that such monomial differential systems are canonical forms for more general dynamical systems.
