title: An algorithm for reducing storage requirements in computer calculation of chemical equilibria.
abstract: An algorithm for storage of stoichiometric coefficients of the possible complexes and solids in a multi-component system of metals and ligands is described, along with FORTRAN code for its implementation. The proposed algorithm results in considerable saving in storage over the conventional use of a two-dimensional array. The saving in storage is especially useful for microcomputers, and for very large problems such as those encountered in geochemical calculations.
