✦ Synopsis

The theory of dynamic systems was used for a simulation of the transition between branched and network macromolecular structures. The system of difference equations was proposed as a corresponding model. The dependence of the limit fraction of crosslinked units on the values of equation coefficients was investigated; linear and oscillatory types of this dependence were determined. The elaborated model was used to analyze experimental data for irradiated polyethylene.
