Graphs to analyze relaxations. General form of characteristic polynomial 

A non-steady-state kinetic model for a complex catalytic reaction with a linear mechanism is described as 

In addition, a conservation law of the total catalyst amount must be fulfilled 

Equation (102) is the non-steady-state kinetic model for the conversion of intermediates (for heterogeneous catalysis, for the conversion of surface substances) assuming that the concentrations of the observed substances are constant. As is known, the solution of eqn. (102) is of the form 

Note that a characteristic polynomial of the square matrix A = o of the order n is called a determinant for a set of linear homogeneous equations
