We study a new model for dynamics of mono-polymer systems. Every polymer is regarded as a string of points which are moving randomly as Brownian motions and under elastic forces. Every two points on the same string or on two different strings also interact under a pairwise potential V. The dynamics of the system is described by a system of N coupled stochastic partial differential equations （SPDEs）. We show that the mean field limit as N -＋ c~ of the system is a self-consistent McKean-Vlasov type equation, under suitable assumptions on the initial and boundary conditions and regularity of V. We also prove that both the SPDE system of the polymers and the mean field limit equation are well-posed.展开更多

We focus on the lacuna-canalicular system. The interstitial fluid and the ions in it are regarded as sol- vent and others are treated as solute. The system has the characteristic of solvation process as well as non-equilibrium dynamics. The differential geometry theory of sur- faces is adopted. We use this theory to separate the macroscopic domain of solvent from the microscopic domain of solute. We also use it to couple continuum and discrete descriptions. The energy functionals are constructed and then the variational principle is applied to the energy functionals so as to derive desirable governing equations. We consider both long-range polar interactions and short-range nonpolar interactions. The solution of governing equations leads to the minimization of the total energy.展开更多

文摘This paper provides a mathematically rigorous foundation for self-consistent mean field theory of the polymeric physics. We study a new model for dynamics of mono-polymer systems. Every polymer is regarded as a string of points which are moving randomly as Brownian motions and under elastic forces. Every two points on the same string or on two different strings also interact under a pairwise potential V. The dynamics of the system is described by a system of N coupled stochastic partial differential equations （SPDEs）. We show that the mean field limit as N -＋ c~ of the system is a self-consistent McKean-Vlasov type equation, under suitable assumptions on the initial and boundary conditions and regularity of V. We also prove that both the SPDE system of the polymers and the mean field limit equation are well-posed.
