Jean-Marie Perdang, « On the general class of reactions displaying instabilities », Bulletins de l'Académie Royale de Belgique, ID : 10.3406/barb.1968.62258
We analyze the structures of reaction schemes allowing for a violation of the sufficient stability criterion δxP > 0. It is found that the only class of reactions which may lead to a δxP ≤ 0 are the n-th order catalyses defined by equation. Precise conditions for the occurrence of a negative excess entropy production for a system of reactions are established.
