✦ Synopsis

A statistical mechanical model is given for linear associating systems that contain defects, using the double-stranded actin polymer as an example. We treat the system as a one-dimensional lattice that can desorb monomers (giving defects) using grand partition function techniques. The main difference from a standard adsorption problem is that the monomer units are also responsible for the structural integrity of the lattice (polymer) and if too many desorb the polymer will be broken. We use literature data to estimate the density of defects in the actin polymer.

The subject of this paper is the asymptotic behavior of a class of nonautonomous, infinite-dimensional dynamical systems with an underlying unbounded domain. We present an approach that is able to overcome both the law of compactness of the trajectories and the continuity of the spectrum of the line
