No Compound Returns

Stability Windows and a Sharp Count of Transition Temperatures for Binary Line Compounds

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions and the School of Continuous Improvement proves that, in a binary system of line compounds whose enthalpies and entropies of formation do not vary with temperature, each compound is stable on a single interval of temperature, and the set of stable compounds changes at no more than 2n − 5 temperatures, a bound it shows to be sharp for every n. A six-compound worked example realises all seven transitions between 460 and 1500 K.
