T-optimum design for discrimination between two mul- tiresponse dynamic models

The paper is concerned with a problem of finding an optimum experimental design for discriminating between two rival multiresponse models. The criterion of optimality we use is based on the sum of squares of deviations between the models, and picks up the design points for which the divergence is maximum. An important part of our criterion is an additional vector of experimental conditions, which may affect the design. In the paper we give the necessary conditions for the design and the additional parameters of the experiment to be optimum, we present the algorithm for the numerical optimization procedure and show the relevance of these methods to dynamic systems, especially to chemical kinetic models.
