✦ Synopsis

It is shown that two problems, one which has become a classic in chemical kinetics developed by Wei and Prater and the other a more prosaic development in multicomponent rectification, when cast in the proper mathematical framework become amenable to a more direct solution. This involves the. selection of the proper inner product on a tlnite dimensional vector space so that the linear operators become selfadjoint.
