First-order stochastic chemical reactions and oscillations in the variance

The general solution of a Markov model for first-order kinetics is developed as a sum of independent, multinomially distributed random processes. Fluctuations in the mean and variance functions are discussed and shown to be unrelated in time during the early phase of the reaction. Numerical examples are presented for two- and three-component systems.
