Gentlemen; We are a research group on mineral processing of INGEOMINAS; which is a geological institute here in Colombia and are interested in knowing if could use this software to solve kinetics expression like the following: t= C1g(X)+C2p(X) Where g(x) = 1- ( 1-X)^1/3 and p(X) = 1- 3(1-X)^2/3 +2( 1-X); t=time(min); X = extent of reaction % ; According with bibliography ,through the method of Nedler and Mead (Flexible Polyhedron search method)C1 and C2 can be obtained from minimization of the function. We would greateful if you could give us an orientation to solve our experimental problem. I would ask you an special collaboration to develop one example with the correct syntax using the experimental results sent in the attachment file. [contact the author to obtain this file). Thanks a lot for your collaboration and orientation. Carlos Espitia Georecursos Area INGEOMINAS Diagonal 53 # 34 ? 53 Bogota ? Colombia Fax 57-1-2223515
