Reaction Kinetics: Exercises, Programs and Theorems

Beschreibung

Fifty years ago, a new approach to reaction kinetics began to emerge: one based on mathematical models of reaction kinetics, or formal reaction kinetics. Since then, there has been a rapid and accelerated development in both deterministic and stochastic kinetics, primarily because mathematicians studying differential equations and algebraic geometry have taken an interest in the nonlinear differential equations of kinetics, which are relatively simple, yet capable of depicting complex behavior such as oscillation, chaos, and pattern formation.The development of stochastic models was triggered by the fact that novel methods made it possible to measure molecules individually. Now it is high time to make the results of the last half-century available to a larger audience: students of chemistry, chemical engineering and biochemistry, not to mention applied mathematics. Based on recent papers, this book presents the most important concepts and results, together with a wealth of solvedexercises. The book is accompanied by the authors’ Mathematica package, ReactionKinetics, which helps both students and scholars in their everyday work, and which can be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com/ and also from the authors’ websites. Further, the large set of unsolved problems provided may serve as a springboard for individual research.



Offers a step-by-step introduction to the modern mathematical theory of deterministic and stochastic reaction kinetics for newcomers both from chemistry and mathematics Includes detailed descriptions and a Mathematica package to help readers with their symbolic and numerical work in all areas of reaction kinetics. The package can be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com. Features a rich collection of recent references, the solutions to all the exercises, and a large set of unsolved problems for researchers
