An approximate equation for the singlet density

Having obtained two simultaneous equations for the singlet and doublet correlation functions, X and, these have to be solved. Furthermore, Kapral has pointed out that these correlations do not contain any spatial dependence at equilibrium because the direct and indirect correlations of position in an equilibrium fluid (static structures) have not been included into the psuedo-Liouville collision operators, T, [285]. Ignoring this point, Kapral then transformed the equation for the singlet density, by means of a Laplace transformation, which removes the time derivative from the equation. Using z as the Laplace transform parameter to avoid confusion with S as the solvent index, gives 

Kapral suggested that no initial correlation in the motion of any particle exists and so x (12) = 0 (where a, /3 = A, B or S). 

Kapral next considered the various components of these equations and noted one class of collision is relatively unimportant. These are collision events when a reactant A collides with a solvent molecule S (particle 2) and then collides with another solvent molecule S (particle 3). A correlation in motion therefore exist between these two solvent molecules. While this is true, collision between solvent molecules even within a cage are more frequent than such events, and so this effect is ignored. Two equations can now be written for the doublet correlation functions XiS (12, z) and x B(12, z). Using these equations and eqn. (298) leads to an equation for the singlet density which bears a close resemblance to that of eqn. (298) itself 

So far then, a formal eqn. (299) has been derived for the singlet density of A, xf(l z)0a (vi)- This is equivalent, in the diffusion equation analysis, to the Laplace transform of the density, p(r, t),
