In [4] N. Steinmetz used Nevanlinna theory to establish remarkably versatile theorems on the factorization of ordinary differential equations which implied numerous previous results of various authors. (Here factorization is taken in the sense of function composition as introduced by F. Gross in [2].) The thrust of Steinmetz’ central results on factorization is that if g(z) is entire and f(z) is meromorphic in C such that the composite fog satisfies an algebraic differential equation, then so do f(z) and, degenerate cases aside, g(z). In addition, the more one knows about the equation for fog (e.g. degree, weight, autonomy), the more one can conclude about the equations for f and g.In this note we generalize Steinmetz’ work to show the following:a) Steinmetz’ two basic results, Satz 1 and Korollar 1 of [4] can be seen as one-variable specializations of a single two variable result, andb) the function g(z) can itself be allowed to be a function of several variables.

Function Of Several Variables

The photolysis of methyl sulfide vapor has been investigated as a function of substrate pressure, exposure time, and temperature in the wavelength range 2000 to 2300 Å. The effects of added propane, sulfur hexafluoride, and 2-methylpentane have been studied. The principal products of the decomposition are CH4, C2H6, CH3SSCH3, and CH3SH. The data indicate direct C—S bond scission in the primary process giving rise to "hot" CH3 and CH3S radicals. A mechanism in which disproportionation of methylthiyl radicals is a very minor process is proposed.The reactions of CH3 and CH3S radicals with methyl sulfide have been examined also by photolyzing CH3SSCH3 and CH3COCH3 in the presence of CH3SCH3. Quantum yields at 2288 Å have been determined as a function of several variables. A number of rate parameters for the reactions of methyl radicals and methylthiyl radicals have been calculated.
