The time course of for each
is plotted by setting the initial conditions as already described. (A)
's relax in descending order, in the same manner as in the first-order reactions. (B)
's relax in ascending order, that is, converse to the order expected from the first-order reactions. The highly modified state relaxes only after the relaxation of the less-modified
. The relaxation process consists of several plateaus, which are typically observed in the relaxation process of kinetic glass [25].
