✦ Synopsis

A new algorithm which we have &led the variable successive overrelaxation (VSOR) method is suggested to solve iteratively the master equation for thermal unimolecular reactions. The rate of convergence using this method is at least six times faster than using the well-known Tardy-Rabinovitch algorithm. A comparative study of various iterative techniques has been carried out on a well-known system (the thermal isomerization of cyclopropane-1 ,I-&).
