In this note, we make a few comments concerning the paper of Hughes and Akin (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng., 15, 733-751 (1980)). Our primary goal is to demonstrate that the rate of convergence of numerical solutions of the ÿnite element method with singular basis functions depends upon the location o

The authors present a new singular function boundary integral method for the numerical solution of problems with singularities which is based on approximation of the solution by the leading terms of the local asymptotic expansion. The essential boundary conditions are weakly enforced by means of app
## Abstract The Poisson‐Boltzmann equation is an important tool in modeling solvent in biomolecular systems. In this article, we focus on numerical approximations to the electrostatic potential expressed in the regularized linear Poisson‐Boltzmann equation. We expose the flux directly through a fir
## Abstract A model which allows the introduction of displacements jumps to conventional finite elements is developed. The path of the discontinuity is completely independent of the mesh structure. Unlike so‐called ‘embedded discontinuity’ models, which are based on incompatible strain modes, there
The nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation is solved using Newton-Krylov iterations coupled with pseudo-transient continuation. The PB potential is used to compute the electrostatic energy and evaluate the force on a user-specified contour. The PB solver is embedded in a existing, 3D, massively p
