Abstract
In pharmaceutical experiments, the rate of dissolution of a tablet is modeled in terms of the proportions of polymers and diluents used in the tablet. When more than one type of polymer and diluent are used, the total proportions of polymers and diluents in the tablet are generally subject to relational constraints, which give a range of acceptable values for each proportion. This paper considers two models for the mean dissolution rate subject to relational constraints on the polymers and diluents and attempts to find optimum designs for estimating the parameters in the models using the D-optimality criterion.
