چکیده
Using exact results from the theory of completely integrable systems of the Painlevé/Toda type, we examine the consequences for the theory of polyelectrolytes in the (nonlinear) Poisson-Boltzmann approximation.

Variational charge renormalization in charged systems.
We apply general variational techniques to the problem of the counterion distribution around highly charged objects where strong condensation of counterions takes place. Within a field-theoretic formulation using a fluctuating electrostatic potential, the concept of surface-charge renormalization is recovered within a simple one-parameter variational procedure. As a test, we reproduce the Poiss...
متن کاملExtensions to Study Electrochemical Interfaces - A Contribution to the Theory of Ions
In the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes. Thi...
متن کاملCell Model and Poisson-boltzmann Theory: a Brief Introduction
The cell-model and its treatment on the Poisson-Boltzmann level are two important concepts in the theoretical description of charged macro-molecules. In this brief contribution to Ref. [1] we provide an introduction to both ideas and summarize a few important results which can be obtained from them. Our article is organized as follows: Section 1 outlines the sequence of approximations which ult...
متن کاملLast multipliers for multivectors with applications to Poisson geometry Mircea
The theory of the last multipliers as solutions of the Liouville’s transport equation, previously developed for vector fields, is extended here to general multivectors. Characterizations in terms of Witten and Marsden differentials are reobtained as well as the algebraic structure of the set of multivectors with a common last multiplier, namely Gerstenhaber algebra. Applications to Poisson bive...
متن کاملElectrostatic analysis of the charged surface in a solution via the finite element method: The Poisson-Boltzmann theory
Electrostatic potential as well as the local volume charge density are computed for a macromolecule by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) using the finite element method (FEM). As a verification, our numerical results for a one dimensional PBE, which corresponds to an infinite-length macromolecule, are compared with the existing analytical solution and good agreement is found. As a ma...
