Enhanced sensitivity of a thermochemical system to microscopic perturbations

Lemarchand, A.; Nowakowski, B. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 331 (2004) 3, pp. 409-421

We study a thermochemical system at different description levels. The results of the mesosocopic description based on the master equation and microscopic simulations of the particle dynamics show deviations from the deterministic predictions. Fluctuation effects observed in the vicinity of...
