Abstract: Extraction problems governed by systems of partial differential equations appear in several branches of Engineering. Parameter estimation involves discretization and modeling in a finite dimensional setting. A model that arises in the supercritical extraction area is analyzed in this paper. Numerical difficulties of the nonlinear programming formulation of the estimation process are discussed and a satisfactory procedure based on unconstrained derivative-free optimization is suggested.
