In this paper the problem of designing experiments for a model which is called Monod model and is frequently used in microbiology is studied. The model is defined implicitly by a differential equation and has numerous applications in microbial growth kinetics, environmental research,...

The Monod model is a classical microbiological model much used in microbiology, for example to evaluate biodegradation processes. The model describes microbial growth kinetics in batch culture experiments using three parameters: the maximal specific growth rate, the saturation constant and the...

In this paper the optimal design problem for the estimation of the individual coefficients in a polynomial regression on an arbitrary interval [a, b] (- inf. a b inf) is considered. Recently, Sahm (2000) demonstrated that the optimal design is one of four types depending on the symmetry...

In the common trigonometric regression model we investigate the optimal design problem for the estimation of the individual coefficients, where the explanatory variable varies in the interval [-a ,a] ; 0 a t. It is demonstrated that the structure of the optimal design depends sensitively on...
