INVERSE MODELING: If I specify a list of minerals without using the minimal identifier, does this mean that the model will use every mineral given and try to equilibrate these?
The inverse modeling does not do ANY equilibration, it is purely an exercise in accounting for moles of elements. If you do not put in -minimal, the program attempts to find every combination of minerals that can satisfy the mole-balance constraints, subject to changes in analytical data that are within the specified uncertainty limits. The -minimal option limits the models to those sets of minerals for which no model can be found with a subset of that set of minerals. In general -minimal gives fewer models at the cost of greater “sums of residuals”. The superset models that are eliminated with -minimal will have smaller sums of residuals. However, all models satisfy the uncertainty limits, so implicitly even models with greater sums of residuals are consistent with your description of uncertainty. • INVERSE MODELING: Do you know what may be causing error messages of Exiting due to signal ‘SIGFPE’ or ‘SIGSEGV’? The problem with your run is with the number of minerals in your list. Thou
