Numerical methods terms Links

This equation is different from the Wheeler equation. The first term on the right-hand side is identical and is the stoichiometric time t, but the second term includes the Langmuir coefficient K explicitly and in R. Thus no link with the Wheeler equation can be found. In addition this equation is valid solely with the Langmuir isotherm. This is a serious limitation because it has been recognized that Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) approach is very useful. No analytical solution exists for the particular case of DR equation. A solution to this problem is to solve the system of equations by numerical methods. 

The team also states the action level in numerical terms and verifies that the proposed measurement methods have adequate sensitivity to meet the stated action levels. Finally, the team develops a decision rule expressed as an if... then statement that links the parameter of interest, the scale of decision-making, the action level, and the alternative action.
