Journal of Scientific Computing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The significance and possible applications of conditional “total” transition probability expressions t ij, earlier defined and shown to be basic properties of physical kinetic systems, are reviewed and discussed. A program to carry out explicit evaluation of these quantities is presented, which may facilitate their use in applications.
