Article Abstract

Single molecule junctions are important examples of complex out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum systems. We identify a nontrivial clustering of steady state populations into distinctive subspaces with Boltzmann-like statistics, which persist far from equilibrium. Such Boltzmann subspaces significantly reduce the information needed to describe the steady state, enabling modeling of high-dimensional systems that are otherwise beyond the reach of current computations. The emergence of Boltzmann subspaces is demonstrated analytically and numerically for fermionic transport systems of increasing complexity.

A multiscale steady discrete unified gas kinetic scheme with macroscopic coarse mesh acceleration [accelerated steady discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (SDUGKS)] is proposed to improve the convergence of the original SDUGKS for an optically thick system in solving the multigroup neutron Boltzmann transport equation (NBTE) to analyze the distribution of fission energy in the reactor core. In the accelerated SDUGKS, by solving the coarse mesh macroscopic governing equations (MGEs) derived from the moment equations of the NBTE, the numerical solutions of the NBTE on fine meshes at the mesoscopic level can be rapidly obtained from the prolongation of the coarse mesh solutions of the MGE. Furthermore, the use of the coarse mesh can greatly reduce the computational variables and improve the computational efficiency of the MGE.

Virtual cell model for osmotic pressure calculation of charged biomolecules.

J Chem Phys

November 2021

Division of Theoretical Chemistry, Lund University, P.O. Box 124, SE-22100 Lund, Sweden.

The osmotic pressure of dilute electrolyte solutions containing charged macro-ions as well as counterions can be computed directly from the particle distribution via the well-known cell model. Originally derived within the Poisson-Boltzmann mean-field approximation, the cell model considers a single macro-ion centered into a cell, together with counterions needed to neutralize the total cell charge, while it neglects the phenomena due to macro-ion correlations. While extensively applied in coarse-grained Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of continuum solvent systems, the cell model, in its original formulation, neglects the macro-ion shape anisotropy and details of the surface charge distribution.

Due to the curse of dimensionality of search space, it is extremely difficult for evolutionary algorithms to approximate the optimal solutions of large-scale multiobjective optimization problems (LMOPs) by using a limited budget of evaluations. If the Pareto-optimal subspace is approximated during the evolutionary process, the search space can be reduced and the difficulty encountered by evolutionary algorithms can be highly alleviated. Following the above idea, this article proposes an evolutionary algorithm to solve sparse LMOPs by learning the Pareto-optimal subspace.

High Order Compact Multigrid Solver for Implicit Solvation Models.

J Chem Theory Comput

February 2019

Computational Materials Chemistry Group, Lehrstuhl für Anorganische Chemie 2 , Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44780 Bochum , Germany.

The electrostatic problem defined by the continuum solvation models used in molecular mechanics and ab initio molecular dynamics is solved in real space through multiscale methods. First, the Poisson equation is rewritten as a stationary convection-diffusion equation and discretized by a general mesh size fourth-order compact difference scheme. Then, the linear system associated with such a discrete version of the elliptic partial differential equation is solved by a parallel (geometric) multigrid solver whose convergence rates and robustness are improved by an iterant recombination technique in which the multigrid acts as a preconditioner of a Krylov subspace method.
