generalized transition-state theory
Any form of
transition-state theory
(
TST
), such as
microcanonical variational
TST
,
canonical variational
TST
, and
improved canonical variational
TST
, in which the
transition state
is not necessarily located at the
saddle point
, is referred to as generalized transition-state theory.
