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...

We study locally D-optimal designs for some exponential models that are frequently used in the biological sciences. The model can be written as an algebraic sum of two or three exponential terms. We show that approximate locally D-optimal designs are supported at a minimal number of points and...
