Abstract

A differential equation has been derived by A. Rapoport,Bull. Math. Biophysics,14, 159 (1952), giving the time course of the fraction of the population who have performed a given act. The general solution of this equation is obtained, some properties of the solution are deduced, and a special case presented in detail.
