Abstract

The equilibrium distribution for a generalQth-order multivariate reaction system is studied. The state transition intensity matrix is developed and examples are given for small numbers of reaction components. A closed-form expression for the equilibrium distribution for systems which are symmetric with respect to the order of component reactions is presented. Numerical examples for three component systems are discussed.
