Extract

In the present paper we consider the r-molecular reversible reaction rA⇌B from several viewpoints. The deterministic theory for integral reaction orders is considered first and is subsequently extended to cover the case of fractional order reactions. Stochastic models are then proposed, the analyses being carried through by spectral methods and, in the case of first order reactions, the first passage time problem is also examined. Finally, we use a diffusion theory approach to the problem to obtain results which are valid for a large number of molecules.
