Received for publication 1 August 2007. Revision received 1 August 2008.

Sufficient conditions are established for the locally D$-optimal design for a nonlinear model to have a minimal number of support points. The conditions are applied to obtain locally D-optimal designs for a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model and a Poisson regression model.

Key Words: Compartmental model • General equivalence theorem • Minimally supported design • Poisson regression • Tchebycheff system
