As an illustration, we consider a system of differential equations which describe a process in chemical kinetics. Within the study of the inverse problem, a criterion is established for linear independence of functions in terms of finite sets of their values.", keywords = "differential equation, chemical kinetics, inverse problem, linear independence, binary correspondence, solvability, composition" }
