Continua of molecular surfaces have been proposed in the past as realistic approaches to modeling molecular shape. A continuum of fused-sphere surfaces combines the simplicity of computations involving hard spheres with a more accurate description of the ''fuzzy'' boundary of a molecule. In this wor

An algebraic method is proposed to represent and to characterize in a concise way the shape of an arbitrarily asymmetrical surface composed from spherical pieces. These surfaces include, among others, the well-known van der Waals surfaces. The procedure is based on the computation of a hierarchy of
An algorithm for the calculation of local and global curvatures of molecular surfaces is presented. The analysis is based on a surface representation as a set of points in 3-D space ("dotted surface" representation). The surface data are used to subdivide the surface into domains with different curv
In this paper we consider numerical methods for stationary free boundary problems. We start by analysing systematically di erent shape optimization formulations of a model problem and show how the optimality conditions relate to construction of trial type methods. Shape sensitivity analysis of the f
A nonanalytical procedure is proposed to calculate the surface area and cross-sectional areas of molecules. Results are reviewed for about 70 species comprising alkanes, acyclic and cyclic, alkyl halides, and alcohols. By regression analysis, relationships are detected between surface areas or segme
This article examines the numerical estimation of molecular surface areas within the model of overlapping atomic spheres. One has the choice of either basing the estimate on all elements that contribute to the surface, or of ignoring systematically some elements in the interatomic clefts. It is argu
