✦ Synopsis
The derivation of an exact "generalized kinetic equation" for the pseudeunimolecular react&n X + A =+ B f X is presented. When the limits of long time and low X-particle density are taken, this equation reduces to the usual form of a chemical rate equation. The correlation function type expressions which this.@ves for the kinetic constants axe shown to disagree with the results of the 'master equation" approach and arguments are presented indicating that the use of the master equation cannot be avoided in'studying this reaction.

## The uniqueness of the minimal solution of the matrix equation A(A)X(A)+ Y(A)B(h) = C(A) is discussed in this paper. It is proved that Bamett's condition for uniqueness can be obtained when only A(A) or B(A) (not necessarily both) is regular. Furthermore, it is shown that if such a minimal soluti
