Parsons, R W; Pollett, P K

The authors provide simple conditions for the existence of quasistationary distributions that can be used to describe the long-term behavior of open autocatalytic reaction systems. They illustrate with reference to a particular example that the quasistationary distribution is close to the usual stationary diffusion approximation.
