Pr. Parthasarathy, ON THE TRANSIENT SOLUTION OF BIRTH-DEATH MASTER EQUATION WITH AN APPLICATION TO A CHIRAL CHEMICAL-SYSTEM, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 35(12), 1996, pp. 1021-1025
The transient distribution of number in the system for a finite birth-
death master equation is derived by solving the system of linear equat
ions of Laplace transforms and finding the inversions through the prop
erties of tridiagonal matrices. This method is applied to obtain the s
teady state solution of the number of L-enantiomers in a chemical syst
em of chiral molecules.
