This paper is concerned with nonsequential optimal designs for a
class of nonlinear growth models, which includes the asymptotic regression
model. This design problem is intimately related to the problem of finding
optimal designs for polynomial regression models with only partially known
heteroscedastic structure. In each case, a straightforward application of the
usual Doptimality criterion would lead to designs which depend
on the unknown underlying parameters. To overcome this undesirable dependence a
maximin approach is adopted. The theorem of Perron and Frobenius on primitive
matrices plays a crucial role in the analysis.
