Abstract

A method is proposed for the treatment of data from a kinetic system of first order consecutive reactions by using an optimization procedure which converges to the correct solution of the two mathematically possible solutions and which does not need initial estimates of the parameters close to those to be determined.

Abstract

Предложен метод обработки данных кинетической системы последовательных реакций первого порядка, используя процедуру оптимализации, конвергирующую к правильному решению из двух математически возможных решений и не нуждающуюся в исходных приближениях параметров, близких к определяемым.
