A boundary integral Poisson-Boltzmann solvers package for solvated bimolecular simulations

Weihua Geng (2015)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

Numerically solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is a challenging task due to the existence of the dielectric interface, singular partial charges representing the biomolecule, discontinuity of the electrostatic field, infinite simulation domains, etc. Boundary integral formulation of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation can circumvent these numerical challenges and meanwhile conveniently use the fast numerical algorithms and the latest high performance computers to achieve combined improvement...

Poisson-Fermi Formulation of Nonlocal Electrostatics in Electrolyte Solutions

Jinn-Liang Liu, Dexuan Xie, Bob Eisenberg (2017)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

We present a nonlocal electrostatic formulation of nonuniform ions and water molecules with interstitial voids that uses a Fermi-like distribution to account for steric and correlation efects in electrolyte solutions. The formulation is based on the volume exclusion of hard spheres leading to a steric potential and Maxwell’s displacement field with Yukawa-type interactions resulting in a nonlocal electric potential. The classical Poisson-Boltzmann model fails to describe steric and correlation...

Hermite spline interpolation on patches for parallelly solving the Vlasov-Poisson equation

Nicolas Crouseilles, Guillaume Latu, Eric Sonnendrücker (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This work is devoted to the numerical simulation of the Vlasov equation using a phase space grid. In contrast to Particle-In-Cell (PIC) methods, which are known to be noisy, we propose a semi-Lagrangian-type method to discretize the Vlasov equation in the two-dimensional phase space. As this kind of method requires a huge computational effort, one has to carry out the simulations on parallel machines. For this purpose, we present a method using patches decomposing the phase domain, each...

A note on Poisson approximation.

Paul Deheuvels (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

We obtain in this note evaluations of the total variation distance and of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between the sum of n random variables with non identical Bernoulli distributions and a Poisson distribution. Some of our results precise bounds obtained by Le Cam, Serfling, Barbour and Hall. It is shown, among other results, that if p1 = P (X1=1), ..., pn = P (Xn=1) satisfy some appropriate...

The Child–Langmuir limit for semiconductors: a numerical validation

María-José Cáceres, José-Antonio Carrillo, Pierre Degond (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The Boltzmann–Poisson system modeling the electron flow in semiconductors is used to discuss the validity of the Child–Langmuir asymptotics. The scattering kernel is approximated by a simple relaxation time operator. The Child–Langmuir limit gives an approximation of the current-voltage characteristic curves by means of a scaling procedure in which the ballistic velocity is much larger that the thermal one. We discuss the validity of the Child–Langmuir regime by performing detailed...

Quantization of pencils with a gl-type Poisson center and braided geometry

Dimitri Gurevich, Pavel Saponov (2011)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider Poisson pencils, each generated by a linear Poisson-Lie bracket and a quadratic Poisson bracket corresponding to a so-called Reflection Equation Algebra. We show that any bracket from such a Poisson pencil (and consequently, the whole pencil) can be restricted to any generic leaf of the Poisson-Lie bracket. We realize a quantization of these Poisson pencils (restricted or not) in the framework of braided affine geometry. Also, we introduce super-analogs of all these Poisson...

Solving the Vlasov equation in complex geometries

J. Abiteboul, G. Latu, V. Grandgirard, A. Ratnani, E. Sonnendrücker, A. Strugarek (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

This paper introduces an isoparametric analysis to solve the Vlasov equation with a semi-Lagrangian scheme. A Vlasov-Poisson problem modeling a heavy ion beam in an axisymmetric configuration is considered. Numerical experiments are conducted on computational meshes targeting different geometries. The impact of the computational grid on the accuracy and the computational cost are shown. The use of analytical mapping or Bézier patches...
