Abstract:
Several formulations are discussed of optimization problems which arise in a natural way in the investigation of transport properties of artificial membranes and general diffusion-reaction media. Nonlinear reaction velocity approximations dictated by reactions of interest to biochemists place the problems in a class to which one cannot apply the usual computational techniques e.g. gradient, conjugate-gradient in a straightforward manner. The inherent difficulties, how one might circumvent them, and some of our initial efforts towards development of feasible computational schemes are discussed.
