Fourier-Motzkin elimination for mixed systems

Description: A simple extension of Fourier-Motzkin elimination is made to mixed systems of equations, that is, systems consisting of equalities in conjunction with inequalities and strict inequalities. The principal observation is that inequalities combined with strict inequalities result in strict inequalities. Two applications are made to automatic data editing. First, a constructive method is provided to test for the existence of a linear objective function for the minimum weighted fields to impute (MWFI… more

Chemicals from biomass: an assessment of the potential for production of chemical feedstocks from renewable resources

Description: This assessment of the potential for production of commodity chemicals from renewable biomass resources is based on (1) a Delphi study with 50 recognized authorities to identify key technical issues relevant to production of chemicals from biomass, and (2) a systems model based on linear programming for a commodity chemicals industry using renewable resources and coal as well as gas and petroleum-derived resources. Results from both parts of the assessment indicate that, in the absence of gas a… more
