Abstract

A multitype polymer reaction process is considered. Its dynamics is described by means of the evolution in time of the average number of reactions (of any kind) and the mean number of unreacted chain segments (of any length), assuming that the initial chain molecule consists of n unreacted units. The asymptotic behaviour (n →∞) of the variance of the extent of reaction is also studied.
