Differential models for the combinatorial study of multi-component
separation schemas synthesis have been proposed.
The starting point was that some separation sequences can be described
as binary trees.
This suggested using differential calculus developed in the study of
binary trees as a method to generate distillation confi gurations.
A differential calculus that allows generating fl exible self-separation
schemas for multi-component systems will be based on differential posets
and dual graded graphs, DGG (Stanley 1988, Fomin 1994).
The resulting schemas may be compared with existing distributed
distillation confi gurations ...
