Bayesian Approach to Probabilistic Design Space Characterization: A Nested Sampling Strategy
Kennedy P. Kusumo, Lucian Gomoescu, Radoslav Paulen, Salvador García Muñoz, Constantinos C. Pantelides, Nilay Shah, and Benoît Chachuat
This paper investigates Bayesian approaches to design space characterization, which determine a feasibility probability that can be used as a measure of reliability and risk by the practitioner. An adaptation of nested sampling—a Monte Carlo technique introduced to compute Bayesian evidence—is presented. The nested sampling algorithm maintains a given set of live points through regions with increasing probability feasibility until reaching a desired reliability level. It is shown that nested sampling can outperform conventional Monte Carlo sampling and be competitive with flexibility-based optimization techniques in low-dimensional design space problems.
Computationally efficient identification of probabilistic design spaces through application of metamodeling and adaptive sampling
Sergei Kucherenko, Dimitrios Giamalakis, Nilay Shah, Salvador García-Munoz
This article proposes a novel theoretical and numerical framework for determining probabilistic Design Space (DS) using metamodelling and adaptive sampling. The new multi-step adaptive technique uses a metamodel for a probability map as an acceptance-rejection criterion to optimize sampling to identify the DS. It is shown that application of metamodel-based filters can significantly reduce model complexity and computational costs with speed up of two orders of magnitude observed here.

Accurate and efficient representation of intramolecular energy in ab initio generation of crystal structures. II. Smoothed intramolecular potentials
I.J.Sugden, C.S.Adjiman & C.C. Pantelides
This article describes a recent advance in the CrystalPredictor code for crystal structure prediction, namely a smoothed intramolecular potential, that improves the accuracy and efficiency of calculations, allowing for investigations into larger and more flexible molecules. It is illustrated with four case studies into large flexible molecules: ROY, glucose, molecule (XXVI) and flufenamic acid.

Efficient screening for ternary molecular ionic cocrystals using a complementary mechanosynthesis and computational structure prediction approach
Shunnar AF, Dhokale B, Karothu DP, Bowskill DH, Sugden IJ, Hernandez HH, Naumov P, Mohamed S
This article demonstrates that mechanochemical ball milling is a versatile technique for the reproducible synthesis of ternary molecular ICCs in less than 30鈥卪in of grinding with or without solvent. Computational crystal structure prediction (CSP) calculations have been performed on ternary molecular ICCs for the first time and the observed crystal structures of all the ICCs were correctly predicted. Periodic dispersion鈥恈orrected DFT calculations revealed that all the ICCs are thermodynamically stable (mean stabilization energy=−2鈥卥J mol−1) relative to the crystallization of a physical mixture of the binary salt and acid. The results suggest that a combined mechanosynthesis and CSP approach could be used to target the synthesis of higher鈥恛rder molecular ICCs with functional properties.

Polymorphism in p-aminobenzoic acid
Cruz-Cabeza AJ, Davey RJ, Oswald IDH, Ward MR, Sugden IJ
This article reviews the polymorphism of p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA), a model drug compound whose crystallisation and polymorphic behaviour has been extensively studied in recent years. Crystal structure prediction calculations have been carried out in order to probe the solid form energy landscape of this compound. CrystEngComm, 2019, Advance Article, 10.1039/C8CE01890A
