- rctb6.ps,
a postscript version of a recent review article by
Rob Coalson and myself on numerical and theoretical methods
for solving the Poisson and Poisson-Boltzmann equations of
electrostatics. An html version is here:
rctb6.
This was generated with the package
latex2html.
- A paper for the 1997 Sanibel Symposium on multigrid methods for
solving the Kohn-Sham equations and the Poisson-Boltzmann equation:
san97.ps (The tables and figures are not
presently attached. The paper is published in Intl. J. Quant.
Chem. v. 65, p. 477 (1997)),
- klatte.ps,
a postscript Ph.D. thesis on computer simulations of
liquid chromatographic interfaces by Dr. Steven Klatte.
A plot of the density profiles across a chromatographic
interphase is shown
here. The tethered C18 chain
segment density
is in red on the two sides. The methanol density is in black
and the water density is in green. This figure is for a 50:50
(volume) mixture of water and methanol. The bottom
axis is in Angstroms.

methods for large scale Poisson problems.
