Dose Points-based Adjustment of Dwell Times T

(DPO)
How can we avoid
“Black Holes”
- Negative Dwell Times?
-
The simplest secure way to guarantee non negative Dwell Times
is the following simple transformation:
2
i
i
i
i
t T
thus
and T t
=
=
-
Solving the problem of NDP Equations with NSDP unknown t the
i
Dwell Times T
i
are calculated as T
i
= t
i
², and thus T
i
≥ 0, for each t
i
.
-
The Mathematical Attractiveness of linearity is then lost!
