A problem of correlated fluctuations in multielement systems is considered in the framework of the theory of stochastic branching processes and is formulated in terms of a population model. Correlations have been taken into account by means of the heredity function. An explicit mathematical method is proposed to solve the problem without referring to the complicated theory of general branching processes. Using this method the global statistical properties of the system (e.g. , the ensemble average and the probability of extinction) have been found. Possible applications of the present model are discussed.
A general approach to the description of monomolecular reactions affected by random impacts has been developed on the basis of irreversible random transitions theory. Theoretical results derived allow us to account for concrete forms of stochastic affections and to evaluate statistical characteristics of reaction systems with monomolecular processes. Kinetic curves described in terms of the proposed theory provide information on certain properties of the random media. Such an approach gives a possibility to include both classical chemical kinetics and a polychromatic approximation as two limit cases. Exact solutions are given in two relevant cases in order to illustrate the applicability of the theory developed by the authors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
