A property of second order differential equations with application to formal kinetics.

It is shown that if x(t) is the solution of a second order differential equation, with real negative characteristic roots (not necessarily distinct), which exhibits an extremum at t = T, then T|x(T)|/|A| [UNK] 1/e where A is the area under the x(t) curve. This result is compared to a special case previously derived by M. Morales and applications of the theorem to formal kinetic problems are discussed.
