Abstract
A closure approximation for the one-dimensional kinetic lattice gas mo del is formulated to truncate the hierarchy of equations of motion for correlation functions. Essentially exact results are obtained both fo r the equilibrium properties and the time evolution of the adsorbate w hen up to five-site correlation functions are included. Implications f or thermal desorption in systems with slow and fast diffusion are stud ied for nearest-neighbor interactions.
