Solubility phase diagrams coupled to computer science (DPAO) part I: Theory of the sequential representation

Abstract This article describes a computerized method for processing of data of solubility in order to establish a phase diagram of order equal to or greater than four. The experimental and/or theoretical data are initially coded automatically with a binary number. An iterative algorithm uses these binary numbers to classify all the fields of variance according to the Gibbs' phase rule. A new mode of representation, so called “equential”, allows a reciprocal correspondence between the n-dimension space of the components and the 2-dimension space of a graph.
