Notes:
A new approach for the lumping analysis of reversible and/or irreversible monomolecular reaction systems (MRS) with constant or time-dependent rate coefficients in discrete and continuous mixtures is presented. The observer theory initiated by Luenberger is proposed and extended to obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of exact and approximate lumping of such systems. Examples are given to illustrate the implications of lumping and to demonstrate the generality and promising aspects of the observer approach. It is shown that this theory is a unifying method for the lumping analysis of MRS. New insights on lumping analysis are discussed.
