ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE GENERALIZED FIRST-ORDER KINETIC PROCESSES

The generalized kinetic equation, with monotonic evolution lifetime, integrated by a suitable mathematical procedure leads to various solutions. Starting from constant values of kinetic function, Phi(t/tau), it evolves in the induction period by assuming complex forms, including oscillations with a spectrum of frequencies. After that the period of the stretched exponential laws appears and finally, too close to equilibrium, the simple exponential or Debye law holds. To the well known hierarchical evolution of the physical and chemical processes should be, therefore, added an induction or incipient period where processes evolve quite differently. In the lower period processes evolve faster than in the higher one.
