A Stochastic Solver of the Generalized Born Model

Robert C. Harris, Travis Mackoy, Marcia O. Fenley (2013)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

A stochastic generalized Born (GB) solver is presented which can give predictions of energies arbitrarily close to those that would be given by exact effective GB radii, and, unlike analytical GB solvers, these errors are Gaussian with estimates that can be easily obtained from the algorithm. This method was tested by computing the electrostatic solvation energies (ΔGsolv) and the electrostatic binding energies (ΔGbind) of a set of DNA-drug complexes, a set of protein-drug complexes, a set of protein-protein...

A variational problem modelling behavior of unorthodox silicon crystals

J. Hannon, M. Marcus, Victor J. Mizel (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Controlling growth at crystalline surfaces requires a detailed and quantitative understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters governing mass transport. Many of these parameters can be determined by analyzing the isothermal wandering of steps at a vicinal [“step-terrace”] type surface [for a recent review see [4]]. In the case of o r t h o d o x crystals one finds that these meanderings develop larger amplitudes as the equilibrium temperature is raised (as is consistent with the statistical mechanical...

About a Variant of the 1 d Vlasov equation, dubbed “Vlasov-Dirac-Benney Equation"

Claude Bardos (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

This is a report on project initiated with Anne Nouri [3], presently in progress, with the collaboration of Nicolas Besse [2] ([2] is mainly the material of this report) . It concerns a version of the Vlasov equation where the self interacting potential is replaced by a Dirac mass. Emphasis is put on the relations between the linearized version, the full non linear problem and also on natural connections with several other equations of mathematical physic.

Aging and quenched localization for one-dimensional random walks in random environment in the sub-ballistic regime

Nathanaël Enriquez, Christophe Sabot, Olivier Zindy (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider transient one-dimensional random walks in a random environment with zero asymptotic speed. An aging phenomenon involving the generalized Arcsine law is proved using the localization of the walk at the foot of “valleys“ of height log t . In the quenched setting, we also sharply estimate the distribution of the walk at time t .

Almost sure functional central limit theorem for ballistic random walk in random environment

Firas Rassoul-Agha, Timo Seppäläinen (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider a multidimensional random walk in a product random environment with bounded steps, transience in some spatial direction, and high enough moments on the regeneration time. We prove an invariance principle, or functional central limit theorem, under almost every environment for the diffusively scaled centered walk. The main point behind the invariance principle is that the quenched mean of the walk behaves subdiffusively.

An asymptotic result for brownian polymers

Thomas Mountford, Pierre Tarrès (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider a model of the shape of a growing polymer introduced by Durrett and Rogers (Probab. Theory Related Fields92 (1992) 337–349). We prove their conjecture about the asymptotic behavior of the underlying continuous process Xt (corresponding to the location of the end of the polymer at time t) for a particular type of repelling interaction function without compact support.

An axisymmetric PIC code based on isogeometric analysis⋆

A. Back, A. Crestetto, A. Ratnani, E. Sonnendrücker (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Isogeometric analysis has been developed recently to use basis functions resulting from the CAO description of the computational domain for the finite element spaces. The goal of this study is to develop an axisymmetric Finite Element PIC code in which specific spline Finite Elements are used to solve the Maxwell equations and the same spline functions serve as shape function for the particles. The computational domain itself is defined using splines...

An upwinding mixed finite element method for a mean field model of superconducting vortices

Zhiming Chen, Qiang Du (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we construct a combined upwinding and mixed finite element method for the numerical solution of a two-dimensional mean field model of superconducting vortices. An advantage of our method is that it works for any unstructured regular triangulation. A simple convergence analysis is given without resorting to the discrete maximum principle. Numerical examples are also presented.
