The derivation of kinetic equations is described for n-compartment linear models, in which the substance may be simultaneously introduced into one or more compartments at t = 0 and eliminated from any compartment. For a given zero-input, general formulas are derived which describe the amount of tracer in any of the compartments as a function of time and the model parameters. New algorithms have been developed which allow the expression of the kinetic equations.
