Abstract

If the kinetic differential equation of a chemical mechanism is a gradient system, the mechanism is essentially cross-catalytic. Consequently, “rather few” conservative (in the Horn-Jackson sense) mechanisms have a kinetic differential equation of the gradient type. Relations with thermodynamics are only briefly mentioned.

Abstract

Эсли кинетическое дифференциальное уравнение химического механизма является градиентной системой, то механизм, по сушеству, является перекрестным каталитическим. Поэтому “достаточно мало” консервативных (в смысле по Хорну-Джэксону) механимов имеют кинетическое дифференциальное уравнение градиентного типа. Слегка останавлтваются на связях с термодинамикой.
