If you think the sentence reads a bit awkwardly, you might be able to change the first "The" to "This", depending on the surrounding context: This theorem states the properties of the solution of the model. | |

| Aug 8, 2015 at 16:11 | comment | added | 13509 | I agree with @Sander. There is nothing wrong with that sentence, but "The theorem states the properties of the model's solution" would work nicely! | |
| Aug 8, 2015 at 15:20 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Grammatically, there's nothing wrong. In principle you could extend it to The theorem states the properties of the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or construct even longer sequences. If you don't like it for stylistic reasons you can always rephrase things, but you don't have to. I suspect most native speakers wouldn't really notice the repetition anyway, if it were in a context where each individual article was a "reasonable" usage (for example, the theorem and the model both imply that these things have already been mentioned). | |
