## Abstract A technique is described for performing phase boundary calculations (cloudβpoint calculations) for solutions of a polydisperse polymer in a solvent component. The polymer is characterized as a potentially large number of individual components. The technique employs the Newton method for
## Abstract A recent critique of the mechanism of threeβphase separation suggested by Tompa for ternary system solventβpolymer (1)βpolymer (2) is shown to be invalid, and Tompa's account is reinforced by analytical arguments and numerical results. In particular it is proven that the critical point
