Assuming the distribution of reacting particles in the system volume to be uniform, we introduced the notion of the point model of reaction kinetics, and derived a system of differential equations for probabilities of finding n=0,1,... autocatalytic particles at a given time moment. It has been found that the kinetic law of the mass action cannot be supported by stochastic model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-04-16T17:10:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "autocatalytic reaction", "stochastic properties", "stochastic behavior", "kinetic law" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..4402P" } } }
