“…Consequently, numerous Gibbs energy minimization strategies are used depending on the problem dimensionality (number of chemical components) and complexity of the equations of state. This includes, but is not limited to, equality‐ and nonequality‐constrained linear least squares (e.g., Ghiorso, 1983, 1985), linear programming and nonlinear optimization methods (e.g., de Capitani & Brown, 1987), discretization of equations of state in composition‐order space combined with linear programming (e.g., Connolly, 1990, 2005), linear programming and Partitioning Gibbs Energy (PGE; e.g., Kruskopf & Visuri, 2017; Piro, 2011; Piro, Banfield, et al., 2013; Piro, Simunovic, et al., 2013), metaheuristic optimization methods (e.g., Burgos‐Solórzano et al., 2004; Çetin & Keçebaş, 2021; Teh & Rangaiah, 2002), and Lagrangian formulations (e.g., Piro & Simunovic, 2016; W. White et al., 1958).…”
