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 [1].

Chemical background
The chemical species are disguised for proprietary reasons and the desired reaction is given by , where is the desired product. The reactions are described as follows:
Slow Kinetic Reactions:
Acid-Base Reactions:
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
Here denotes the concentration of the species in . By assuming the rapid acid-base reactions are at equilibrium, the equilibrium constants can be defined as
The anionic species may then be represented by
Material balance equations for the three reactants in the slow kinetic reactions yield:
From stoichiometry, rate expressions can also be written for the total species:
An electroneutrality constraint gives the hydrogen ion concentration as
Based on similarities of reacting species, we assume
With these assumptions, the three rate constants and must be estimated. Each of these can be fitted with two adjustable model parameters, assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence. That is
Here is the gas constant and is reaction temperature in Kelvins. The parameter , given in , represent the pre-exponential factor and , with unit , is the activation energy.
Mathematical formulation
The chemical processes can be expressed mathematically as six differential equations and four algebraic equations:
Here the letters in parentheses stand for the corresponding chemical process and the quantity is a constant during the reaction. The nine parameters form the vector
The predicted concentrations form the vector
Let denote the right hand side of equation for . We reformulate the last four algebraic equations as differential ones:
The right hand sides of and are summarized as the vector-valued function . Moreover, let
Parameters
The initial parameter estimates are:
There are three datasets for different temperatures , with corresponding starting values
The initial model conditions in addition to those given in the data sets are:
Optimal Experimental Design Problem
To be specified.
We are interested in when to measure (with an upper bound on the measuring time for each observable). We define
In this approach, we add the so-called sensitivities . For the differential equations this means
Now we formulate the OED problem as described in [2].
Here is the observed function. The evolution of the symmetric matrix is given by the weighted sum of observability Gramians for each observed function of states. The weights are the (binary) sampling decisions, where denotes the decision to perform a measurement at time .
Miscellaneous and Further Reading
To be specified.
