The DOW Experimental Design problem models the OED problem for the parameter estimation problem formulated by the DOW Chemical Co. in 1981. The following formulation is taken from <a href="#Biegler1986">[1]</a> "Nonlinear Parameter Estimation: a Case Study Comparison" by L. T. Biegler and J. J. Damiano add quote.

Chemical background

The chemical species are disguised for proprietary reasons and the desired reaction is given by HA + 2BM \rightarrow AB + HBMH, where AB is the desired product. The reactions are described as follows:

Slow Kinetic Reactions:

\begin{array}{c} M^- + BM \underset{k_{-1}}{\leftarrow} \overset{k_1}{\rightarrow} MBM^- \\ A^- + BM \overset{k_2}{\rightarrow} ABM^- \\ M^- + AB \underset{k_{-3}}{\leftarrow} \overset{k_3}{\rightarrow} ABM^- \end{array}

Acid-Base Reactions:

\begin{array}{c} MBMH \leftarrow K_1 \rightarrow MBM^- + H^+ \\ HA \leftarrow K_2 \rightarrow A^- + H^+ \\ HABM \leftarrow K_2 \rightarrow ABM^- + H^+ \end{array}

In order to devise a model to account for these reactions, it is first necessary to distinguish between the overall concentration of a species and the concentration of its neutral form. Overall concentrations are defined for three components based on neutral and ionic species

\begin{array}{c} \left[HBMH\right] = \left[ (MBMH)_N \right] + \left[ MBM^- \right] \\ \left[HA\right] = \left[ (HA)_N \right] + \left[ A^- \right] \\ \left[HABM\right] = \left[ (HABM)_N \right] + \left[ ABM^- \right] \end{array}

Here [ \ ] denotes the concentration of the species in \operatorname{gmol}/\operatorname{kg}. By assuming the rapid acid-base reactions are at equilibrium, the equilibrium constants K_1,K_2,K_3 can be defined as

\begin{array}{c} K_1 = \frac{[MBM^-][H^+]}{[(MBMH)_N]} \\ K_1 = \frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[(HA)_N]} \\ K_1 = \frac{[ABM^-][H^+]}{[(HABM)_N]} \end{array}

The anionic species may then be represented by

\begin{array}{cr} \left[MBM^-\right] = \frac{K_1[MBMH]}{K_1 + [H^+]} & \quad (a) \\ \left[A^-\right] = \frac{K_2[HA]}{K_2 + [H^+]} & \quad (b)\\ \left[ABM^-\right] = \frac{K_3[HABM]}{K_3 + [H^+]}& \quad (c) \end{array}

Material balance equations for the three reactants in the slow kinetic reactions yield:

\begin{array}{cr} \frac{d[M^-]}{dt} = -k_1 \left[ M^- \right] \left[ BM \right] + k_{-1} \left[ MBM^- \right] - k_3 \left[ M^- \right]\left[ AB \right] + k_{-1} \left[ ABM^- \right] & \quad (d)\\ \frac{d[BM]}{dt} = -k_1 \left[ M^- \right] \left[ BM \right] + k_{-1} \left[ MBM^- \right] - k_2 \left[ A^- \right]\left[ BM \right] & \quad (e)\\ \frac{d[AB]}{dt} = -k_3 \left[ M^- \right] \left[ AB \right] + k_{-3} \left[ ABM^- \right] & \quad (f) \end{array}

From stoichiometry, rate expressions can also be written for the total species:

\begin{array}{cr} \frac{d[MBMH]}{dt} = k_1 \left[ M^- \right] \left[ BM \right] + k_{-1} \left[ MBM^- \right] & \quad (g)\\ \frac{d[HA]}{dt} = k_2 \left[ A^- \right] \left[ BM \right] & \quad (h)\\ \frac{d[HABM]}{dt} = k_2 \left[ A^- \right] \left[ BM \right] + k_3 \left[ M^- \right] \left[ AB \right] - k_{-3} \left[ ABM^- \right]& \quad (i) \end{array}

An electroneutrality constraint gives the hydrogen ion concentration \left[ H^+ \right] as

\left[ H^+ \right] + \left[ Q^+ \right] = \left[ M^- \right] + \left[ MBM^- \right] + \left[ A^- \right] + \left[ ABM^- \right] \quad \quad (j)

Based on similarities of reacting species, we assume

k_3 = k_1, \quad k_{-3} = \frac{1}{2} k_{-1}

With these assumptions, the three rate constants k_1,k_2 and k_3 must be estimated. Each of these can be fitted with two adjustable model parameters, assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence. That is

\begin{array}{c} k_i = \alpha_i \exp(-E_i /(RT)), \quad i \in \{-1,1,2\} \end{array}

Here R is the gas constant and T is reaction temperature in Kelvins. The parameter \alpha_i, given in \operatorname{mol}/( \operatorname{kg} \cdot \operatorname{h}), represent the pre-exponential factor and E_i, with unit \operatorname{cal}/{\operatorname{mol}}, is the activation energy.

Mathematical formulation

The chemical processes (a)-(j) can be expressed mathematically as six differential equations and four algebraic equations:

\begin{array}{lr} \dot{y}_1 = -k_2 y_8 y_2 & \quad (1),(h) \\ \dot{y}_2 = -k_1 y_6 y_2 + k_{-1} y_{10} - k_2 y_8 y_2 & \quad (2),(e) \\ \dot{y}_3 = -k_2 y_8 y_2 + k_1 y_6 y_4 - \frac{1}{2} k_{-1} y_9 & \quad (3),(i) \\ \dot{y}_4 = -k_1 y_6 y_4 + \frac{1}{2} k_{-1} y_9 & \quad (4),(f) \\ \dot{y}_5 = -k_1 y_6 y_2 + k_{-1} y_{10} & \quad (5),(g) \\ \dot{y}_6 = -k_1 (y_6 y_2 + y_6 y_4) + k_{-1} (y_{10} + \frac{1}{2} y_9) & \quad (6),(d) \\ y_7 = -\left[ Q^+ \right] + y_6 + y_8 + y_9 + y_{10} & \quad (7),(j)\\ y_8 = \frac{\theta_8 y_1}{\theta_8 + y_7} & \quad (8),(b)\\ y_9 = \frac{\theta_9 y_3}{\theta_9 + y_7} & \quad (9),(c)\\ y_{10} = \frac{\theta_7 y_5}{\theta_7 + y_7} & \quad (10),(a) \end{array}

Here the letters in parentheses stand for the corresponding chemical process and the quantity \left[Q^+\right] is a constant during the reaction. The nine parameters form the vector

\theta = (\alpha_1,E_1,\alpha_2,E_2,\alpha_{-1},E_{-1},K_1,K_2,K_3)

The predicted concentrations form the vector

y = (HA,BM,HABM,AB,MBMH,M^-,H^+,A^-,ABM^-,MBM^-)

Let f_k(\cdot) denote the right hand side of equation (k) for k=1,\ldots,6. We reformulate the last four algebraic equations as differential ones:

\begin{array}{l r} \dot{y}_7 = f_7 = f_6 + f_8 + f_9 + f_{10} & \quad (7') \\ \dot{y}_8 = f_8 = \frac{\theta_8 f_1 \cdot (\theta_8 + f_7) - \theta_8 y_1 f_7}{(\theta_8 + y_7)^2} & \quad (8') \\ \dot{y}_9 = f_9 = \frac{\theta_9 f_3 \cdot (\theta_9 + f_7) - \theta_9 y_3 f_7}{(\theta_9 + y_7)^2} & \quad (9')\\ \dot{y}_{10} = f_{10} = \frac{\theta_7 f_5 \cdot (\theta_7 + f_7) - \theta_7 y_5 f_7}{(\theta_7 + y_7)^2} & \quad (10') \end{array}

The right hand sides of (1)-(6) and (7')-(9') are summarized as the vector-valued function f. Moreover, let

\begin{array}{l} f_{y,m,n}(\cdot) = \frac{\partial f_m(\cdot)}{\partial y_n}, \quad m,n \in \{1,\ldots,10\} \\ f_{\theta,m,n}(\cdot) = \frac{\partial f_m(\cdot)}{\partial \theta_n}, \quad m \in \{1,\ldots,10\}; \ n\in \{1,\ldots,9\} \end{array}

Parameters

The initial parameter estimates are:

\alpha_1 2.0 \times 10^{13}
E_1 2.0 \times 10^{4}
\alpha_2 2.0 \times 10^{13}
E_2 2.0 \times 10^{4}
\alpha_{-1} 4.3 \times 10^{15}
E_{-1} 2.0 \times 10^{4}
K_1 1.0\cdot 10^{-17}
K_2 1.0\cdot 10^{-11}
K_3 1.0\cdot 10^{-17}

There are three datasets for different temperatures T, with corresponding starting values

\begin{array}{lccc} & 40^\circ C & 67^\circ C & 100^\circ C \\ y_1(0) = & 1.7066 & 1.6749 & 1.5608 \\ y_2(0) = & 8.32 & 8.2262 & 8.3546 \\ y_3(0) = & 0.01 & 0.0104 & 0.0082 \\ y_4 (0) = & 0 & 0.0017 & 0.0086 \end{array}

The initial model conditions in addition to those given in the data sets are:

\begin{array}{l} y_5 = 0 \\ y_6 = 0.0131 \\ y_7 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( -K_2 + \sqrt{K_2^2 + 4K_2 y_1(0)} \right) \\ y_8 = y_7 \\ y_9 = 0 \\ y_{10} = 0 \end{array}

Optimal Experimental Design Problem

To be specified.

We are interested in when to measure (with an upper bound M_i on the measuring time for each observable). We define

\begin{array}{l} f_y(\cdot) \in \mathbb{R}^{10 \times 10} \quad \text{ with } (f_y)_{i,j} = f_{y,i,j}, \\ f_\theta(\cdot) \in \mathbb{R}^{10 \times 9} \quad \text{ with } (f_\theta)_{i,j} = f_{\theta,i,j} \end{array}

In this approach, we add the so-called sensitivities G=dy/d\theta. For the differential equations this means

\dot{G}(t) = f_y(y(t),\theta) G(t) + f_\theta(y(t),\theta), \quad G(0) = \frac{\partial y(0)}{\partial \theta}

Now we formulate the OED problem as described in (Optimal Experimental Design for Universal Differential Equations add quote)

\begin{array}{lll} \displaystyle \min_{y,G,F,z,w} && \text{trace} \; \left( F^{-1}(t_f) \right) \\ \text{subject to} \\ \quad \dot{y}(t) & = & f(y(t),\theta) \\ \quad \dot{G}(t) & = & f_y(y(t),\theta) G(t) + f_\theta(y(t),\theta) \\ \quad \dot{F}(t) & = & \sum_{i=1}^{n_o} w_i(t)(h^i_y(y(t))G(t))^T(h^i_y(y(t))G(t)) \\ \quad \dot{z}(t) & = & w(t), \\ \quad y(0) & = & y_0 \\ \quad G(0) & = & \frac{\partial y(0)}{\partial \theta} \\ \quad F(0) & = & 0, \\ \quad z(0) & = & 0 \\ \quad w(t) & \in & \mathcal{W} \\ \quad z_i(t_f) & \leq & M_i \end{array}

Here h:\mathbb{R}^{10} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n_o} is the observed function. The evolution of the symmetric matrix F: \left[0,t_f \right] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{9 \times 9} is given by the weighted sum of observability Gramians h^i_y (y(t)) G(t), \ i = 1,\ldots,n_o for each observed function of states. The weights w_i (t) \in \{0, 1\}, \ i = 1,\ldots,n_o are the (binary) sampling decisions, where w_i (t) = 1 denotes the decision to perform a measurement at time t.
