We find a new analytical solution for the chemical evolution equations,
taking into account the delayed contribution of all low and intermediate mass
stars (LIMS) as one representative star that enriches the interstellar
medium.This solution is built only for star formation rate proportional to the
gas mass in a closed box model. We obtain increasing C/O and N/O ratios with
increasing O/H, behavior impossible to match with the Instantaneous Recycling
Approximation (IRA). Our results, obtained by two analytical equations, are
very similar to those found by numerical models that consider the lifetimes of
each star. This delayed model reproduces successfully the evolution of C/O-O/H
and Y-O relations in the solar vicinity. This analytical approximation is a
useful tool to study the chemical evolution of elements produced by LIMS when a
galactic chemical evolutionary code is not available.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures, to be published in the RevMexAA in October 200
