This paper presents the description of triplet-triplet annihilation in the case of nondominant first-order decay of molecules in the triplet state. The kinetics of the statistical system is influenced by joined action of two processes: the first- and second-order decies. This kinetics can be described with analytical function if the rate parameter of second-order reaction is constant. The approach presented here combines the well-known Smoluchowski formula with the previously published intuitive and non-Fickian models of diffusion-controlled triplet-triplet annihilation. The kinetics of the delayed fluorescence of anthracene is used as a practical example of applicability of the model proposed. The advantages and limits of the proposed model are discussed.
