Information content of kinetic measurements and inverse problems of chemical kinetics

Abstract

position (parallelism) of these problems rather than the CPU time reduction in solving inverse problems. Parallelism is meant to be partition of the entire prob� lem into subproblems of lower dimension. Analysis of these subproblems significantly increases the reliabil� ity of the solution of inverse problems. The possibili� ties of such “internal parallelisms” should follow from the physical content of the problems to be solved. The major problem solved in this work is to create a method that can significantly simplify study of the information content of kinetic models of complex reactions. This method is based on the graph theoreti� cal analysis [4] of independent routes [5, 6]. Analysis of the information content of a complex reaction scheme consists in analysis of the information content of the schemes responsible for the reaction that occurs along each of the independent routes. Instead of one complex system, we deal with several significantly simpler systems. The number of simplified systems is equal to the number of independent routes.
